New Years Day - Unbreakable (2019) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

One look at the members’ timeline of NEW YEARS DAY on Wikipedia and you’d be mistaken for thinking it was supposed to be on the page for GUNS N’ ROSES. The American rockers have gone through a plethora of musicians since their foundation, with vocalist Ash Costello the only constant member. However, guitarist Nikki Misery and bassist Frankie Sil have been alongside her for a significant amount of time and the lineup is now rounded out by guitarist Austin Ingerman and drummer James Renshaw. It’s this current incarnation that has recorded Unbreakable, the bands fourth full-length album that arrives at the end of this month via Century Media Records.

In the lead up to the album, Costello has been very assertive that Unbreakable moves away from the solemnity and despair of previous albums and is instead replaced with empowerment and positivity. She’ll be delighted to know that the nail has been very much hit on the head. Unbreakable is a shout of defiance from a band who are pushing forward to the next level in their career without any worries about what has come before them. The three singles that have seen the light of day have done much to hammer this home sooner, particularly Skeletons which could be the best song of their journey to date; the huge nu-metal bounce and monolithic chorus have to be heard to be believed. Come For Me, the album opener, combines MOTIONLESS IN WHITE-esque keys and electronics with a massive riff and Costello’s powerful voice, carrying it through brilliantly; Shut Up, meanwhile, incorporates darker pop overtones and a more sinister vibe, but loses none of its potency.
