Rose of the World "Heaven Is A Broken Heart" [CS] SAD086
Rose of The World is a band from New York City. Dynamics play a fundamental role in the band’s sound, moving from sensitive subterranean whispers to heroic mountaintop guitar riffs - traversing the entire valley between. With dramatic use of light and shadow, memorable hooks gleam brightly through a dim forest of harmony.
Rose’s poignant melodies and impassioned songwriting create an ethos reminiscent of old school emo bands like Sunny Day Real Estate or …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. But rather than existing neatly within the confines of a genre, songwriter Cory Best follows each song down its own unique path. The result is highly energetic, raw, emotional, at times dark, and through it all - hopeful. The path is obscure and rarely a straight line.
