You now can place Norma Jean officially on the map. It’s quite apparent this band commands significant attention and respect in the music industry. One listen to its fourth studio album, The Anti Mother, makes that clear. Never has the celebrated band sounded so accessible and yet the metalcore act completely retains its roots. It’s a combination sure to please older fans and reach new ones on this year’s “Warped Tour.”
It’s possible this will be seen as the band’s cornerstone work in a (hopefully) storied career.
