2014 release, the third album from the Alt-Rock band. The album does exactly what the title suggests: it restores the band as a massive force in the scene that they've thrived in for the past years, but beyond that it showcases the bands growth as both songwriters and performers. Frontman Austin Carlile returns and gives his most brutal and honest performance to date while clean singer, Aaron Pauley, who is making his Of Mice & Men debut, truly shines and will become a star in his own right. In making RESTORING FORCE the band has created an album that will please the large Hard Rock, mosh-happy fan base that they've accrued over the years, while also allowing them to continue growing and appealing to a wider and wider audience.
The third long-player from the propulsive Costa Mesa, California-based metalcore outfit fronted by Attack Attack! vocalist Austin Carlile, the 11-track Restoring Force finds the hard-hitting/Steinbeck-inspired quintet expanding their sonic assault by adding elements of classic rock and nu-metal into the already lethal mix. Produced by David Bendeth (Paramore, Papa Roach), the Rise Records-issued Restoring Force was preceded by the singles "You're Not Alone" and "Bones Exposed," and was the band's highest-charting album to date, peaking at the number one spot on the indie and hard rock album charts. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
