The One Hundred<\/b> are by no means a “new” band. They have toured with some of the UK’s premiere acts slowly crafting a name for themselves with consistent performances, something that will peak interest in ‘Chaos + Bliss’<\/i>, the band’s long-awaited debut studio album.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to label TOH<\/b>. They blend grime and metal seamlessly to create a sound akin to Bring Me and Shikari in what some might describe as “new nu-metal”. They also have massive chops and riffs to boot as demonstrated in album openers ‘Dreamcatcher’<\/i> and single ‘Monster’<\/i>.<\/p>\n

With the band aided by massive synth and sample work, the real shining light here is in the ability of vocalist Jacob Field. He can shift gears in a split second, transitioning from rapped lines to shouts full of attack. It’s easy to think that there is two vocalist here with a massive disposition between techniques, but all are delivered with true talent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As ‘Disengage’<\/i> hits, that’s exactly what The One Hundred<\/b> risk as things begin to sound a little formulaic. This still kills but growth is needed to keep ‘Chaos + Bliss’<\/i> on track. Thankfully with the arrival of the haunting ‘Dark Matters’<\/i> and treated female vocals of ‘Boomtown,’<\/i> TOH<\/b> succeed in pulling things back from the edge in. This allows things to climb to the crescendo that is ‘Chaos + Bliss’<\/i> and ‘Feast’<\/i>. Ominous, biting riffs drive things to a powerful close leaving on a 90’s R’n’B filled high. These highs feature throughout but there are sections that risk this promising album becoming underwhelming, that’s something to be avoided at all costs.<\/p>\n

Although a long time coming, ‘Chaos + Bliss’<\/i> is exactly that, chaotic, hard-hitting, with moments of pure bliss. A steady debut, TOH<\/b> have created an introduction to one of the hardest working bands in the UK but the ceiling still hasn’t been reached. With a second album sure to follow, The One Hundred<\/b> have some work to do but they are no stranger to reaping the fruits of their labour.<\/p>\n

3\/5<\/p>\n

‘Chaos + Bliss’<\/i> by The One Hundred<\/b> is out now on Spinefarm Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
