Life in Cycle

Life in Cycle is a fairly new local band out of Peoria, IL.  Modeled after other local successes such as Single File Suicide, Taxi Wardance, and Bodybag Fit for a King, these guys fit well into the local metal scene.  What sets them apart is that much like Slipknot, they have a softer side where they actually showcase musical and vocal talent.  Not to say that their metal isn't talented, simply that they are a two sided listen.  Another band that could be comparable is All That Remains. 

I bought this band's demo on a whim from a friend of mine.  There was one song that stuck out to me, and that was Revive.  It's an acoustic song that demonstrates a lot of talent in the vocals.  The whole demo is definitely something to rock out to. 

Together since 2012, this band is making their presence known.  They're featured regularly on the "Local Anesthetic" radio show with 105.7 the X.  (Side bar, it can be streamed live on iHeartRadio on Sunday nights, and is definitely a good way to find some great local music.)  I haven't had the chance to catch a live show, but am hoping to when their next show is announced.  You can check out their stuff by following the link below!!
