As
this album begins its harrowing journey into a world of bedlam I can clearly
see I have made the right decision to review this. It snakes and veers in a
twisted motion that although is only an introductory track lasting one minute
seventeen seconds it really does make its mark!
The
next installment ‘Rite to Kill’ is a good five minutes fifty three so there’s
plenty to engage in and what a tremendous vocal slurry! This is really serious to
the audial as it cloaks the perceptions with a finely tuned encounter adding in
that melodic haze – superb!
‘Blood
of the fall’ has a very acute sound that keeps you grounded and focused as it
sweeps with a tremendous overwhelming sound. Thundering with alluring appeal and
quite unique although they hold a lot of vigour the melodies compliment on a generously
grand scale.
‘Cotard’s
Blade’ with a very strong title this track exceeds expectations and another fusion
of complex strings and untethered beats that weave an unusual drama, with a
melodic core that goes a long way to scintillate.
‘Leave
the Living for Dead’ Unveils a hard hitting edge that literally stalks with
predatory power and allegiance to its main cause. Flourishing it goes into
overdrive as the guitar licks your lobes with a feisty melody.
‘For
a fleeting moment’ the sound of thunder mixed with rain sparks to life as a
hazy melodic sprint builds towards its goal. The strings are full bodied absorbing
a rich tapestry that grows as the mood quickens, however it does sound slightly
off kilter at times.
‘Where
wings will burn’ this track has the connotations of euphoric in every sense of
the word! Its dream-like complexities throw you into turmoil as the chords
build to such amazing levels.
‘I
am the flood’ is another controlled power trip that gathers energy through a
tirade of punchy madness and melodic intent.
‘Half
hand’ is a beautiful track flourishing with extreme immensity and melodic
duress that encapsulates with surging harmonies and intense thickening
textures.
‘Lord
of the Suffering’ a strong track that belts out a victorious vibe, driven with
molten metal. Nobody could deny that this is heavy in every sense of the word.
‘The
Horde Exodus’ is like a mind bending drug that is exaggerated with a resonating
punch to the throat, quickly going in for the kill with blinding groove and
solid momentum!
