The tones, the leads/melodies, the overall feel ? this reminds me a lot of Emperor?s In the Nightside Eclipse without any keyboards, but blended with a bit of Dissection and maybe the more aggressive riffs of Old Man?s Child/Dimmu Borgir (without the symphonic cheese). Whatever it reminds you of, Cipher is definitely a well done homage to the 90s classic black metal sound full of sharp leads, treble-based riffs, inhuman growls? oh, and sci-fi lyrics (as far as I can tell). There?s surprisingly very little information on the band and what there is is limited, but it?s worth the effort to seek them out.
