Bands You Should Know: The Saddest Landscape

If you’re looking for something a bit more aggressive, but something that goes against the mainstream grain, look no further than The Saddest Landscape.  Originally formed in 2002, The Saddest Landscape quickly made a name for themselves in the “screamo underground.” But, after a handful of independent releases, they’ve remained somewhat dormant.  2010 marks their first full length album in 7 years, and while the “screamo” genre has become stale, The Saddest Landscape have not.  They’ve left that predictable sound behind and created something melodic yet aggressive and wholly original.

About the Band: Haunting and massive in its scope, The Saddest Landscape’s You Will Not Survive echoes a maelstrom of emotions while retaining a staggering poise and precision. Rarely does a record push you so close to the edge only to save you at its dying breath. The Saddest Landscape provides cathartic therapy for desperate and dark matters of the heart. With passionate vocals and pummeling, powerful musical landscapes the band never relents nor wavers as they drag you through their own personal hell. It is the fear of the journey that eventually makes us stronger and You Will Not Survive is that voyage. Time away has only enhanced The Saddest Landscape’s aggressive vitriol. The band has redefined expectations firmly reestablishing themselves back in a scene that desperately needs them. You Will Not Survive further entrenches The Saddest Landscape as an uncompromising pioneer in the ever-evolving screamo genre.
