Assertive doom metal - 90%
Written by cotarelo on February 7th, 2010
A hybrid of death metal and heavy metal played with a melodic doom metal style and atmosphere.
This is booming melodic doom metal that sets a contemplative melody of disconsolation that will serve like the background of the song and then undergo a series of tempo changes like a faster death metal band. The whole atmosphere is of aggravation yet unlike most doom metal, this music exudes a joyful however scrutinizing attitude towards life. The fundamental rhythms and tones aim not for depressive funeral metal but a meditative ambience where a slower pace and doom metal aesthetic is just the medium to what they wish to express. Instead of the typical “the world is pointless, I wish I was dead” attitude of bad doom metal, these guys think “we live in a seemingly dead world I wish I was alive”.
Lead guitar melodies possess a heavy metal feel to them, playfully bitter and sullen flow slowly to the front to set the mood, then gracefully fades to the background under the hoarse puffing growls like a similar Bolt Thrower. Then drums pick up on complexity and speed and weave an awesome web of multi rhythms and tempo changes with both punch and subtlety. Like if moving at slightly different pace, thunderous death metal phrases explode in a war like stroke before harmonious guitar solos wrap it all up in spectacular form before returning to the initial melodious woe.
All music is dark and rhythmically compelling, emotional but never dramatic, complex but eloquent, highly technical but never egocentric. In other words, it is both expressive and intelligent. Guitars are not so down tuned but sort of mid-range which work perfectly with the dissonant melodic lines that pervade the entire album and give it that doomish yet abrasive quality. Lyrics reflect a poetic diagnosis of the world and life. They are “truths” of society, the ego and self, which seek to root and explain the basis of pain, suffering and pessimism and the way these affect our lives with affliction but suggest that with logical thinking we might overcome the flaws that entrap us.
A joyful doom metal record that embraces life, played with technical death metal flair and heavy metal melody.
