About
Anyone expecting The Chariot’s <i>One Wing</i> to be a typical metalcore screamfest is in for a rude shock. Five albums into its recording career, the Georgia combo shows the confidence to flout convention by fusing blistering thrash with probing Christian lyrics and unexpected arrangement twists. Movie-soundtrack excerpts, ukulele strums, quotes from previous albums, and other left-field touches are all part of the band’s sonic strategy. Frontman Josh Scogin exceeds his own high standards for crazed vocalizing with palpable abandon. His comrades support him with a warrior’s blazing spirit even as they negotiate quick rhythmic shifts and dramatic mood changes. “First” is a frenetic assault that turns into an austere Western-themed soundscape worthy of a Sergio Leone gunslinger epic. “Your” (featuring Angela Plake’s pristine vocals) and “Cheek” (framing an audioclip from Charlie Chaplin’s <i>The Great Dictator</i>) likewise toss in curveballs to provocative effect. Along with such quirky interludes are plenty of ear-mauling eruptions, with “Not” and “Tongues” delivering especially telling blows.
