Outline In Color are a 6 piece post-hardcore/electronic band. They mix elements of metalcore and electronics, thus producing their sound.

The whole sixth-member-plays-synth aspect of bands has become a trend that is typically executed horridly. Unless they can also shred on a piano, I don’t want to hear it. However, when it works, it really works. Some bands don’t need their synth player to be successful — it’s just an added bonus (when it actually works, like I said) that enhances their sound. This is one of those bands. There isn’t an aspect of Outline In Color’s music that doesn’t fit or that you listen to and wonder why they did that, or why that member of the band is even there. Six members, six instruments that shine in their own way. While their vocalists separate them from the rest of these auto-tuned sheep that no one would listen to if it weren’t for their sweet haircuts and tight pants, the four remaining members aren’t there just for show. You can’t ignore them because they make sure doing such a thing would be impossible. Until it comes to the last track, this band is in your face for a solid fifteen minutes. And, even at the end, it’s almost like they’re apologizing for kicking your face in so badly. Apology accepted, guys. Thanks for the killer tunes.
