As Cities Burn - Come Now, Sleep

Reviewed by agloriousruin

After an near break-up, As Cities Burn returns with their sophomore release through Tooth & Nail Records. While their debut was a loud and often vicious album, Come Now, Sleep finds the band, who are now without their original frontman, covering a lighter side of things—at least comparatively for them. The new sound is more atmospheric and ambient, with more melodic vocals courtesy of Cody Bonnette. The result is a stirring and often beautiful album that should surprise just about everyone.
