| #FOR FANS OF: Melo Black, Dissection |
Darkness reveled here in the form of minor chords galore via Chris, et al. This one is a notch better than 'Adverse Portrait'. It simply has more substance to it and better constructed riffs, ABSOLUTELY! They've come a long way since their debut which was in an entirely different genre. Still metal just more on the gothic side. This one (like their last) is in melodic black metal. It takes some listens to to get really the overall essence of it. And the songs averaged around 4-5 minutes in length, which is enough for you to get a taste in what goes in to the high volume channel! Definitely progression here, no doubt.
A 4-piece now but in the recording it featured only three. And their stage presence is totally lit up. Within the influence of Dark Fortress, Naglfar and Darkthrone, they kind of carve their way into their own sound. I think that's a little of what they lacked in their previous. On here, there's a good sound in what they have to offer in their own synthesis of melodic black metal. I like this one a lot I think it's their their absolute greatest effort since they formed. Definitely not one to play on a depressing day though which I think it was called upon their darkness visible (William Styron). It's just great to hear their musical abilities are getting better.
I'd have to say that their musicianship keeps on getting better and better and I do hope as this gets stronger the band will attract more followers. It's sounds like the vocals have some effects laced on them kind of like in the realm of Dark Fortress and Dissection's ex-front man Jon (RIP). Nevertheless, it keeps the music underground and depressing. The music and vocals is what steals the show I believe Chris on his 7-string. It's an interesting band that he's amassed here. I'm certain the songwriting took a shit-heap of a lot of work. The riffs stole it for me the music outlining what the vocals accompany them.
This was released on 9/24/21 and it's available via streaming (Spotify/YouTube) and also available on CD. I bought the CD, it's the best way to capture what streaming won't allow: BETTER QUALITY SOUND. They play as good live as they do on the LP. I was waiting for this to get on CD so everything sort of feels flowing not simply going from track to track with major pauses and poor sound quality (my computer). A good album to listen to while you're exercising for all you fitness fanatic metalheads. Let's pay a token of respect to the band and inform friends that are interested in new releases in metal. 'Last Contact' is out, now get a hold of it! (Death8699)
