Reviews
"TIGERLILY BAND OF THE MONTH" (June)
- Tigerlily Oxford - (2007)
visionfall.Amazing.Utter Class. (Headline next time boys!)
- Beatdown Productions - (2008)
There is no messing about with these boys, visionfall certainly know how to shove the bollocks into the punters here tonight at the Port Mahon. Their version of metal-core hits almost every spot, certainly in stand out song ‘The Thirst’, think of a mixture between beatdown kings As I Lay Dying and the epic finish metalers Children of Bodom. visionfall sling their hair and attack the stage with their vicious distribution of hate fuelled grime, making a perfect impression to the moshers at the front. Pity the singing wasn’t, at all times, in tune. But overall a fantastic wake up call for the old biddy’s’ trying to sleep upstairs. 8/10

Next up was Bicester based five-piece visionfall. Delivering a confident and distinctive set of Thrash Metal they showed they know exactly how to get the most from their sound. Ambitious in their scope they pull it together perfectly for an urgent and intense sound that should serve them well. Live they put in all the energy that you would expect from their sound, yet maintained a high level of technical precision throughout for a strong, convincing set that went down well with the Friday night crowd.

When I recieved a call from my partner in crime about the 'visionfall' BOTB gig at Hobbits W.S.M. I was eager to go and check out this fresh band (after all they are playing 'HEATHEN FIRE FEST').
and dissapointed I WAS NOT!!!!
For a band that have only been together for about 2 and a half years they have the presence of a veteran group.
The songs were well written and expertly performed and to see the emo's who were there for the other bands rock out during 'vision's' very groove laden breakdowns was awesome!!!
Drummer Scott "JD" Horne executes his beats and rhythm's with the accuracy of a swiss watch, coupled with bassist Ryan Thornton's battering low end assault, they provide a strong backbone for even the hardest metal.
The sybiotic relationship between guitarists Sam Mather and Jason Smalley is somewhat of a rarity in metal as of late. They seem to be thinking the same things at the very same time while providing crushing riffs with powerful soaring melody's and screaming harmonics that even the mighty DIMEBAG (RIP) would be stoked with.
Vocalist Ricky "Veil" Taylor has the kind of voice I would be proud to have. As a vocalist myself, I know how hard it can be to switch between styles, going from a gutteral growl to a ripping scream while mixing it up with tuneful breaks akin to the likes of Chino Moreno and Daryl Palumbo.
Think 'Killswitch Engage' meets 'Meshuggah' while drinking with 'Bullet For My Valentine'
Add a little 'GlassJaw' ecclecticness and your almost there.
Most of all they looked like they were having a hell of a good time just playing which is so important.
The E.P. 'At Sanity's Wake', which was recorded at Prism Music recording studios in Bicester was produced by Sadegh Hakimi and has a very profesional sound which any aspiring band should strive for and to include the lyrics in the gatefold went down well in my books.
All in all these guys are going to do big things so watch this space.
If you hear of them playing anywhere near you I highly recommend seeing them tear it up.

What visionfall are doing is hardly original – in fact it could probably have come flat-packed direct from the metalcore mail order catalogue – but it’s done with admirable vim and venom, blast beats and breakdowns backing up alternately ogre-ish and melodic vocals, lashing of snarling and growling and
bellowing and hollering that coat the churning, shredded riffs with a tar-like grime, plus the odd bit of discreetly clever fretplay that doesn’t seem to want to make a big deal of itself. Each of the three songs here sound
like very slightly tweaked variations of each other, but everything pummels along nicely (or not nicely, depending on whether you’re a spiritually dead Michael Bublé fan). Five parts As I Lay Dying to three parts Shadows Fall
and a hefty dash of Iron Maiden. Shake well and bump goes yer uncle, down the stairs in a crumpled heap.
