odd time signatures definitely cure cancer m/
@Shadowmire- I've had this on repeat for two days now, with the occasional pause to listen to the new Regina Spektor because it just goes so well together

So, for example, in the title track - it's based around their usual polymetric structure (which you described perfectly), but Haake keeps hinting at a half time feel. So in the first verse when the vocals come in, he keeps bringing it into half time for a fraction of the bar, then jolting it back. It's very subtle, but really destabilizes the whole feel
Another new rhythmic device is in Clockwork, where they avoid the usual 4/4 snare trick for the entire song - Haake seemingly jumps into it about 2/3 of the way in, then derails it with constant interjections that break up the 4/4 groove and prevent it from ever settling in, even opting for a tom groove over the outro where a 4/4 snare would be very obvious.
Ivory Tower has a 12/8 feel, which they already did in Demon's Name, but this is much slower and groovier and explores the potential of that a bit more instead of nonstop double kick. Hagstrom's riffs sound very Thordendal in this one.
Another new concept from Demon's Name is further explored in Rage, in the use of a building 1-2-3-4 pattern. TDNIS was really the one truly rhythmically innovative track on Koloss, so it's nice to see them explore these concepts further.
Anyway I'll review this soon and dig in deeper.

wonder if this'll hit the "trending albums" list on the front page. anyone know exactly what criteria "trending" references?
|
| |
maybe it's not trending cuz it hasn't been officially released tbh
|

Album Rating: 5.0
yeah but it's by far one of the most active threads today
|
| |
the system recognizes the release date tho, it must have barren all unreleased albums from the trending list
