Review by Shadowdoom9 (Andi) for From Here On - Hope for a Bleeding Sky (2000)

As an ex-fan of Between the Buried and Me and fan of Prayer for Cleansing, I knew I had to give this band/EP a good listen and review, since two members of both bands were in this one; guitarist Paul Waggoner and vocalist Tommy Rogers. From Here On had more noise in their deathly metalcore than the technicality of those other two bands. The harsh vocals from Rogers roar over the heavy riffing/shredding of Waggoner. There are occasional acoustic/narration passages between parts of the onslaught.

However, there are only two great highlights here, one of which is "Shards of Glass", a total spine-chiller. The other highlight, "Further Away" has the best breakdown I've heard in any of the Rogers/Waggoner bands. Other than those two, it's all mostly just uninspired deathly metal/hardcore, and I'm relieved that the EP only has a 25-minute length....

Favorites (only two for this album): "Shards of Glass", "Further Away"
