Album Review: Ignite - A War Against You

Mark Hebblewhite

"Ignite have triumphed again."

More Ignite Ignite Profile

It's been nine long years since the stunning Our Darkest Days platter, but Ignite once again delivers the goods.

A War Against You is some of the best melodic hardcore you're ever going to hear. Boasting a typically punchy Cameron Webb production job and led by the soaring vocals of Zoltan 'Zoli' Teglas (note to Pennywise — this is how you use Zoli!) this material shines. Standouts include the heartfelt Rise Up, and the pro-refugee anthem Where I'm From. Even the overtly commercial Work has its charms and rounds off the 13-track release in style. Quite simply, Ignite have triumphed again.
