Tom's Reviews This is a damn fine album of posthardcore tunes. I can hear a little Deftones, some U2 influenced guitar tones, even. an 80s geek here and there; plus, the vocals are excellent. Favorite track: Dead Ringer.

about

Black Map returned to the studio with producer Aaron Hellam at Oakland’s Hellman Sound and created an ambitious but no less intense sophomore set, a boundary smashing, downtuned heavy rockslab called In Droves.

Songs like “Run Rabbit Run,” “Foxglove,” “No Color,” and “White Fence” are united in a lyrical exhortation toward staunch individuality in the face of soul-crushing conformity. These are songs that challenge listeners to focus on what makes them unique as people, to shake off the gloomy dystopian results of mass groupthink, to actualize and harness one’s own humanity.

As they continue forward, ever united in that original pureness of intentionality, Black Map covers bigger ground.Bursts of ambience and mellow contemplation compliment the broadly shaped melodic noise. Unafraid experimentation gives way to a strong dichotomy, to new elements, all within that original structure of Black Map’s monster riffing.
