Album art In an interview with VH1, Chris Taylor Brown stated the picture of a man mowing a lawn was selected to show his view of suburban life, to which he called home. Critical reception AllMusic critic Brian O'Neill regarded the album as "as enthusiastic as it is plagiaristic," while noting "the organic feel to the disc that separates it from their more angst-ridden peers." O'Neill further wrote that the record "isn't original, per se, as much as it does a good job melding its pronounced influences more seamlessly than mos ...

''Only Through the Pain'' is the fourth studio album by American rock band Trapt. It was released on August 5, 2008 through Allen Kovac and Nikki Sixx's label, Eleven Seven Music.

Shadow Work (Trapt Album)
''Shadow Work'' is the eighth studio album by American rock band Trapt, released on July 3, 2020. The album was a critical and commercial failure at release. Critical and commercial reception AllMusic's Neil Z. Yeung rated this album 2.5 out of 5 stars, writing that the album offers "some polished anthems to balance with their typical crunchy assault" and particularly praises the band's cover of "Who Will Save Your Soul". ''Shadow Work'' sold 600 copies in its first week, an 87% decrease from 2016's ''DNA'' and significantly below the 5,400 anticipated sales. This was the first time the band did not make it to the US Billboard 200 since ''Amalgamation''. Vocalist Chris Taylor Brown disputed these figures, claiming sales among the several thousand. Brown's subsequent social media use got the band's accounts suspended and led to drummer Michael Smith leaving Trapt. The band's subsequent tours were poorly attended.

Gregory Heaney of AllMusic said that the record contains "a heavier, harder-edged sound" while still retaining the radio appeal of the band's previous works, concluding that "With this tighter, more aggressive approach, Trapt fans should be pleased to hear that the ba ...

The End Records
The End Records is a record label in Manhattan that specialized in rock, heavy metal, indie, and electronic music. History Early years (1998–2005) The End Records was founded by Andreas Katsambas in Pasadena, California, with the goal of helping small underground artists. Within three years it became a full-time job and Katsambas moved the office to Salt Lake City in 2002. Too underground to get a national distribution deal, he started his own webstore, which helped cover basic expenses and slowly started bringing in other titles. The next three years were critical in expanding the label which began signing bands such as The Gathering, Crisis, Arcturus, Ulver and more. National distribution, moving to Brooklyn (2005–2006) In 2005 after meeting with many major distribution companies, The End signed a national distribution deal with RED Music and moved to Brooklyn, NY, the following year. The move to New York enabled the label to expand and diversify their building ro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
