Description

“Distance & Devotion” is Anchor’s third full-length. The album came out in April 2015 but was recorded back in 2013. Their dedication in polishing their sound is definitely worth the effort. The record doesn’t sound overproduced but the band has moved from the 90’s hardcore and metal influences to much more melodic and off-kilter sound. The record starts with the message of “?I will never stray from my path” in the opening track “Upstream”, featuring Aram Arslanian (Champion, Betrayed, The First Step, React! Records). The whole record sounds incredibly nuanced between the distinct Anchor’s sound that we used to like and the more melodic approach. Both singles “Survive” and “Losing Faith” have been made into official video clips, so I guess the band will get even wider recognition far beyond the typical DIY hardcore punk/VSXE crowd. The lyricism is still top-notch in this one and the whole record stands out both in terms of music and message.
