As The Sun Sets


As The Sun Sets were a four-piece grindcore/metalcore band from Providence, Rhode Island that began in 1998 and ended in 2002. Though they were only around a relatively short while, they did manage to put out two full-lengths, an EP, and a live EP. This band is of particular note because 3 of its members went on to form Daughters right after the dissolution of As The Sun Sets. The chaotic, noisy experimental approach to hardcore present in the first two Daughters' albums is definitely hinted at in ATSS later material. Having said that, they still have a more straight forward grind/metal approach in comparison to the off-the-wall nature of Canada Songs. They put a solid slew of material that's worth checking out, regardless of what its members went on to do after. Enjoy.
