REVIEW : Our Sky is Falling - Tales From Distant Shores
While Our Sky is Falling may occasionally toe the line between coming off as generic and not so different from any other name in the sea of metalcore, they manage to leave their own unique brand at times, making “Tales From Distant Shores” worth checking out if you’re looking for a few interesting ideas.
