Amor Vincit -- metalcore from Washington state, USA

On Bandcamp it says that Amor Vincit is metalcore from Seattle, USA. Metal Archives shows the EP Meditations (January 9th, 2021) as the only recording so far. It is almost 19 minutes, with the following songs: 1.Narratives (Intro) 01:52; 2.My Fortress 03:33; 3.Parasite 05:28; 4.Embrace the End 03:13; 5.Take This Moment 04:48. This is a solo project by John Espinoza. The guitars feature a persistent chugging style, sometimes there is a bit melody in the riffs for that melodic thrash or melodic death metal affinity. The driving style of the guitars is supported by programmed drumming that keeps up the energy. The vocals can be low growled, higher shrieked and there is melodic singing, like on the song "Parasite." Of the three vocal styles, both extreme styles sound good. The melodic singing is the biggest surprise, and also seems like the style that Mr. Espinoza has decided to keep more restrained, as it does not appear as prominent throughout the recording. The melodic singing is the area where the vocals are the least developed at the moment. This recording is one for the metalcore fans looking for some new music.
