"It is though God by command has withdrawn every other throne.
And God is saying, "No. These people will deal with me alone."

- "Kansas" by The Devil Wears Prada off "Dead Throne"

So much good music has come out recently that it's a little hard to keep up, but three albums stand out in my mind. These include releases by The Devil Wears Prada (see above), We Came as Romans, and Oh, Sleeper. The formost of those in my mind however, is Oh, Sleeper's new album "Children of Fire". "Children" is the perfect next step in the Texan metalcore act's career, following up 2009's "Son of the Morning".  From vocalist Micah Kinard's opening yells in "Endseekers" to guitarist Shane Blay's desperate pleas in "Means to Believe", the album takes the best aspects of what has made Oh Sleeper noteworthy, and amplified them to the point where they can't be ignored.
