10 Best Post-Hardcore Albums Of The 21st Century

5. Escape The Fate €“ This War Is Ours

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RS9EVwNrtg This War Is Ours, released in 2008, was Escape the Fate€™s first full-length album after replacing Ronnie Radke with former Blessthefall and The Word Alive lead singer Craig Mabbitt. Many ETF fans were devastated by the departure of Radke and so there was a lot of scepticism prior to the release of the record €“ but it did not disappoint. The contrast between more aggressive tracks such as €˜This War Is Ours (The Guillotine Part II)€™ and €˜The Flood€™, more mainstream sounding songs such as €˜Ashley€™ and €˜Something€™, and the slower-paced tracks such as €˜Harder than You Know€™ meant the album contained something for everyone. However what the album did deliver consistently throughout was extremely powerful choruses, particularly in the colossal track that is 'This War Is Ours'.
