\"\"The Wreckage<\/em> is the latest offering from up-and-coming modern rock band Candlelight Red. The band, which hails from central Pennsylvania, has enjoyed a measure of success lately. They\u2019ve toured with bands like Egypt Central and Rev Theory, opened for KISS, and their single \u201cCloser\u201d has enjoyed radio airplay, which is increasingly hard for new bands to achieve.<\/p>\n

Candlelight Red\u2019s sound sits squarely in that post-nu metal, modern rock type with bands like Hinder, Disturbed and especially Linkin Park, but they put their own stamp on things. The Wreckage<\/em> is an album with plenty of heaviness balanced by a good sense of melody, and while it\u2019s never as obnoxious as the average Nickelback album, it\u2019s not so sullen or serious that you can\u2019t have a good time rocking out to it. <\/p>\n

The main thing going for it is the guitar work of Jeremy Edge, who serves up the right mix of crunching heaviness and catchy hooks, and while the whole clean\/scream vocal style has been done to death, Ryan Hoke does it better than most. Factor in the rhythm section of Josh Hetrick and Jamie Morral to keep the pace and the end result is pretty hard to resist. The single \u201cCloser\u201d is the obvious standout on The Wreckage, but the whole album is pretty solid. The title track and \u201cBend and Break\u201d would do well on modern rock radio, and the band\u2019s very aggressive spin on Roxette\u2019s \u201cShe\u2019s Got the Look\u201d is a fun way to close the album.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not a fan of this kind of modern rock, Candlelight Red probably isn\u2019t going to change your mind, even though they do this kind of thing better than most. If you are a fan of this kind of music, then The Wreckage<\/em> will probably become your new favorite album.<\/p>\n
