Review Summary: Breathtaking, Brutal, Melodic, Fast... Are all words that could describe this band's debut, finally a band that manages to sound different from everyone else in the Deathcore/Death metal genre.
First of all, everybody knows that there are out there lots of emerging metal bands with an amazing musicianship, brutallity and quality, but it seems that today most people only listen to the same bands and don't try anything new. Yesterday i found out this band, and when i first listened to their songs i was amazed, this is their first album, and in my opinion one of the best albums this year (so far).
The opening track "Constructing Ultimate Destruction" starts off with fast drumming and crushing guitars, this is basically and introduction, and it's pretty damn good. The vocals will probably remind you of Suicide Silence, but the music itself is far better than anything Suicide Silence has ever done, and even better than that sick first song is what comes after it. "Shrine Of Worship", the second song in the album continues with the same the kick-ass sound, Deathcore vocals, melodies and brutal riffs just like the rest of the record, yet without getting repetitive. It just keeps you headbanging.
One of the best things about this band is the unpredictability of their songs, each song has a similar sound, but as i already mentioned the music is anything but repetitive. There are also some nice guitar solos in almost every song, and each solo is unique. This guys are outstanding musicians, and if you want any proof of that, just listen to "Instrumental".
Some parts of this record are lightning fast, while other parts are slower, the slow parts are often breakdowns along with distant guitar melodies and death growls. Yeah, i hate breakdowns too, but not the ones from this band, probably because of the raw-sounding guitars and the evilness of their music itself.
Now you're probably asking "what makes this band different from all the other Deathcore bands?". Well, i would say the atmosphere of the songs, the musical quality, and the heaviness (they are considerably heavier than any other band from the genre)
Finally, i think the highlights of this album are "Shrine Of Worship", "Instrumental" and "Purgatory Of Eternal Suffering", but all the songs sound really great. Once again, this is their very first album, and in my opinion one of the best debuts i've ever listened to.
Recommended songs:
- All of them.
