GIVE THEM ROPE

Coalesce

Experimental/Post Metal

3.18 | 2 ratings

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

The first album by the prog-hardcore maniacs Coalesce is not their best, but it did mark the beginning of an influential band who would subsequently re-invent metalcore in their later albums.

Give Them Rope has more of that hardcore-punk sound compared the albums that followed it. The progressive rock influence however, is still noticeable. I wouldn't call the album full-blown mathcore, but this was essential for the band. The sound of Coalesce soon snowballed and they helped establish mathcore as a legitimate sub-genre and style, along with peers Botch, Cave In, Converge, and The Dillinger Escape Plan.

I don't recommend this to the common progressive metal fan, but if you love hardcore-punk and/or metalcore from the 90's, as well as mathcore, Give Them Rope is worth a listen.
