Their debut EP, <i>&#8216;Same Hell, Different Devils&#8217;<\/i>, allowed them to find a following in their hometown of Lincoln before various singles led the four-piece to tour throughout the UK and Europe.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8216;Grief, Enslaved&#8217;<\/i> is the title of their new EP and sees <b>Reclaimer<\/b> expand that sonic pallet. Songs such as <i>&#8216;Let Go&#8217;<\/i>, <i>&#8216;July&#8217;<\/i> and <i>&#8216;Canvey&#8217;<\/i> sees raucous harmonies of floating, ambient melodies complement the sharp, burgeoning breakdowns and visceral screams of Harrison Cook.<\/p>\n<p>With an impactful set of songs now in their arsenal, we were intrigued to see who the members of <b>Reclaimer<\/b> consider as their influences. So Cook, along with drummer Cameron Corton, bassist Robert Featherstone and guitarist Michael Whittey, decided to tell us about six inspirational albums.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe title=\"Reclaimer - Let Go\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ezBW4rWulQk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Being As An Ocean &#8211; How We Wondrously Perish<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve been inspired by Being As An Ocean since the formation of Reclaimer. We found a place in how the messages were spread within the lyrical content, and I personally feel that we try to do something similar in how it can be up for interpretation and this record especially gave me a lot of inspiration.<\/p>\n<h2>Landscapes &#8211; Modern Earth<\/h2>\n<p>Harrison Cook (vocals): I feel like Landscapes are one of the most underrated bands ever. Me and Michael have been hugely inspired by Landscapes since we discovered them in 2013. They&#8217;re a band we will never get the pleasure of supporting, or seeing again which sucks, but what they\u2019ve left behind really inspired the creation of Reclaimer and the record <i>&#8216;Grief, Enslaved&#8217;<\/i>.<\/p>\n<h2>Knocked Loose &#8211; Laugh Tracks<\/h2>\n<p>This is probably the odd one out but to us, it isn\u2019t. The heaviness of this band blew our minds when <i>&#8216;Laugh Tracks&#8217;<\/i> dropped and even though we aren\u2019t hardcore we took huge inspiration for writing breakdowns and heavier sections in the songs on <i>&#8216;Grief Enslaved&#8217;<\/i> and in our future material.<\/p>\n<h2>Counterparts &#8211; Tragedy Will Find Us<\/h2>\n<p>Harrison: Since day one of Reclaimer, <i>&#8216;Tragedy Will Find Us&#8217;<\/i> has been massive for us all personally and musically. Getting up and doing Choke with Brendan at upsurge 2018 was a huge honour as without Counterparts I don\u2019t think we would have taken this direction in our sound. I love the lyrical content and the way the songs have been put together. It\u2019s been hugely influential to us.<\/p>\n<h2>Underoath &#8211; Lost In The Sound Of Separation<\/h2>\n<p>Cameron Corton (drums): <i>&#8216;Lost In The Sound of Separation&#8217;<\/i> was an important album for me (Cam) because I was just finding my roots in the music scene as a drummer. Aaron Gillespie&#8217;s playing style really taught me that you can truly express yourself even with an instrument like the drums, not everything has to be &#8216;linear&#8217; or to a specification.<\/p>\n<p>This album opened up my eyes to the interpretation of music &amp; the different emotions it can create for individuals even if they&#8217;re singing to the same tune, it could be a whole different experience for another.<\/p>\n<h2>Architects &#8211; Hollow Crown<\/h2>\n<p>Robert Featherstone (bass): How can you not be inspired by Architects? The top UK metal band on the decade, killing it all over the globe. Personally, I was completely blown away by how different the album was to anything else at the time, and I still don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything quite like or equal to it. It\u2019s got everything. Probably one of, if not the best metal album of all time for me. I know for a fact this album is the reason a lot of people within the music scene became musicians in the first place. If you haven\u2019t listened to it before stop what you\u2019re doing and listen now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/6fTshDl0gjyxois8xnwFPW\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/alreadyhearduk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow us on Spotify for more playlists.<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>&#8216;Grief, Enslaved&#8217;<\/em> EP by <strong>Reclaimer<\/strong> is out now on <strong>Famined\u00a0Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reclaimer<\/strong> links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reclaimeruk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/reclaimeruk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reclaimeruk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/0JZsq4WS2G1UMYsVR5iueZ?si=tj2jvtV6R3ekFs0duIAZMg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lincoln hardcore bruisers Reclaimer tell us about the album that have helped inspire them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":87730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[144,161],"tags":[9158,17402,14975,17401],"class_list":["post-87729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-influences","category-playlists","tag-famined-records","tag-grief-enslaved","tag-influences","tag-reclaimer"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
