New genre in the making?

The album Abstractions of the Absolute is a true Masterpiece. The vocals, are a combination of high pitch squeals, and deep Death Metal growls. Some amazing drumming and guitar playing also, put together you get a completely uniquely refreshing new sound in which many are disliking. It's kind of a Cross of Technical Death Metal with elements of Black Metal.

There are many good elements on this album with a few bad ones. The One bad element I could find with this album is the poor sound quality the crash symbols seem to sound a bit odd or it could just be me. The good elements are that the sound is unique, especially on the song The Blood Shall spoil dipping into high pitch screams. Some very quick finger work and the listener will get gripped to this song right from the first 10 seconds they here it (as long as they can stand the vocals).

The first track on this EP is very very odd and experimental. I think after the intro it drives straight into some odd buzzing sound which I can't really explain . To be honest this track isn't really needed as it doesn't show the bands true potential, but I think they very quickly regain this with their next track The Blood Shall Spoil. Starts with a long scream and some technical death style guitars as drums, this track starts off with the deafening high pitch squealing vocals which I really like. We next come into Self Modifying Game which is a very fast paced song with again the mix of high and low pitched vocals, again another very good song. And the very final song and also the longest which is Cnidaria, its odd as this song starts off very slowly then expectantly bursts into a quick paced song, screaming and growling again but this it more on the growling than the screams, some very quick finger-work also.

Overall a very good album and if you find this anywhere, I would buy it because you will not be disappointed with this very fine release.

hack - 10 May 2012: Although this text was descriptive enough, it was published as a commentary. Because you mentioned 3 of the 4 tracks by name. Track by track texts get published as commentaries.
Scared1 - 10 May 2012: fair enough :)
hack - 11 May 2012: I used to delete all of the uncorrected TBT texts, because I thought that That was the standard on SoM. But I recently talked to a member of the 1st circle, who clarified that matter for me. That's the way it goes now on the English side, if I check the text.



I want SoM to add another competent proofreader for the English section, so that you guys won't have to wait so long when I'm busy writing review requests. I owe a lot of work to another team also. I'm going to be way less active with this chore of checking other people's reviews in the future.
