Review
I Prevail roared back with their third studio album, "TRUE POWER," on August 19, 2022, and talk about leveling up their sound! These guys went all-in, blending metalcore, post-hardcore, and rap metal with doses of pop, trap, and even a sprinkle of grunge. You'd think you're listening to a musical smoothie of everything explosive. Producers like Tyler Smyth, who helmed their last album "Trauma," kept the vibe unpredictable, mixing heavy hitters with gentle interludes. Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe's vocals are on fire, with Vanlerberghe spitting softer rap lines amidst his usual thunderous delivery.
Don't sleep on the singles; they're bangers! "Body Bag" and "Bad Things" kicked things off, with the latter crushing the Billboard Active Rock Radio Charts. Fans later jammed to tracks like "Self-Destruction" and "Closure," reveling in this rollercoaster of aggression and melody. Critics threw their horns up, applauding the album’s dynamics—the *Kerrang!* vibes—and *Hysteria Mag* even got hyped about its fresh take on I Prevail's style. Sure, *Sputnikmusic* threw shade at the songwriting, but come on, the explosive energy is undeniable. "TRUE POWER" is a powerhouse showcasing the band's fearless evolution in the rock scene. - Jaxx
