About Me


LAST WORDS
Hardcore/Progressive/Ambient

Last Words are a five piece band from Cheshire formed in early 2006, with the idea of creating music that's not afraid to stray from the beaten path. Combining staple hardcore influences with sounds as diverse as Sigur Ros, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Fightstar gives Last Words a familiar yet challenging sound. Step Outside Yourself, the band's first EP, was recorded in Autumn 2007 at Bloodstained Vault Studios, produced by Peet Ryder (Heresy of Theives) and Mike Pilat (The Ocean). In spring, the band went to Staffordshire University Studios to record two new tracks. Writing is currently under way for a new demo, hopefully to be recorded and released at the end of 2008.

"The standard of playing and songwriting is killer"
Peet Ryder, Heresy of Thieves guitarist

"Ahh…hardcore that isn’t just an explosion of emotion. Making full use of two talented guitarists, this band owe as much to death and thrash metal as they do to hardcore. Their sound is aboslutely immense; tight and heavier than a nine year hangover. They set out their mission right from the beginning of ‘Chuck Norris’; to annihilate the walls and very foundations of Club Academy with crushing and inventive breakdowns, mind-blowing twin axe solos and a sophisticated use of dynamics; it’s a wonder that people were still standing by the end of the epic ‘As Angels Fall from Grace’. This band deserve to go right to the top.
9/10 - Awesome. So impressed we couldn’t walk in a straight line"

"Harmonised leads, plenty of shred and interesting song structures that, rarely for young hardcore bands, actually flow"

"What makes this band so good is that they aren’t all about the pit"
UBSpotlight

"These guys certainly give a presence of power within their music. Expect powerful vocals, blast beats and fast paced riffs. If they don't get your blood pumping see a doctor immediately. Fav song - Portraits"
LLBD Promotions

"Unlike a lot of metal bands starting up nowadays, Last Words include some progression and varying sections in their music"

"That is how metal should be"

"...'As Angels Fall From Grace' brings the listener in with a melodic combination of instruments playing a soulful and arguably moving section. It's not long after the half a minute moment where we're brought into the onslaught we've had throughout the previous material. The climatic ending is nothing but enjoyable, and if anything is the thing to get you listening many times again." 4/5
