Terrorizer review for Running Out of Daylight
With 2007's hugely impressive self-titled debut, Chicago four-piece The Living Fields instantly announced themselves as one of progressive metal's most tantalising prospects; "progressive", that is, not simply in a lazy genre sense, but in a genuinely evolutionary way of songwriting. "Running Out of Daylight" firmly cements the quartet as one of the most pulsatingly forward-looking bands to emerge in recent years, with seven lustrous, affecting numbers (along with a neat and well-placed interlude) culminating in the sixteen-minute juggernaut of a title track. It's a firm sign that the Americans are heading in the right direction—that is, if they haven't already got there.
Grade: 4/5
