For a genre that’s foundations are rooted in individuality and dissention, hardcore has given birth to hordes of cookie-cutter bands, who’s success is often measured by their ability to imitate the stereotype. Every once in a while, however, a band surfaces that sets the concentric circles of influence into motion. Remarkably harnessing exceedingly more intensity than the typical hardcore vocal approach by utilizing melody, Beloved addresses the human condition, failure, and perseverance with an emotive and heart-wrenching attack that is equal parts brutality ad beauty. “I feel like hardcore has become sort of a stagnant… [it] can be beautiful if its done honest and pure, and not just to fit some mold; that's what we are trying to go for,” says chief vocalist/guitarist Joshua Moore. While most bands that have ventured this approach have either produced little more than mono-tone vocal drone buried under screaming, or sacrificed the purity of the genre, “Failure On” is an immaculate combination that borrows without diluting integrity. “I feel like we are doing something that is honest, and important to us. Our music has a chance to maybe bridge the gap between hardcore and melody, in a very seamless way.” (Solid State)
