\"\"<\/a>It would honestly be great if bands could stop including \u2018Atlantis\u2019 or \u2018Atlantic\u2019 in their name at this point. It might have been a novel idea at one point in conveying a sense of epic scale, but now it just makes it all the more difficult to distinguish one from the other. Not that that\u2019s the main problem that Breathe Atlantis<\/b> have when it comes to standing out, mind, especially when super-polished post-hardcore hasn\u2019t exactly been short of patrons in the last few years.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s ultimately led to a band who\u2019ve come to be little more than another minuscule cog in the machine; \u2019Soulmade\u2019<\/i> is their third album and it has no more distinct personality or flair than any other mid-tier band in their scene, let alone anything they\u2019ve done. It means that, once again, it\u2019s time to wheel out all the usual points that come with an album like this – it\u2019s well-produced, but could certainly benefit from a bit more than unmistakable polish, and Nico Schiesewitz has just as much power as any other helium-voiced shouter, but you\u2019d struggle to pick him out of a lineup.<\/p>\n
