Surprisingly awesome album!
When I first listened to a few of the band's songs, I was a little skeptical. I thought it'd be another album where people try to mix mathcore and deathcore and it ends up being like oil and water. But I found a copy at a local record store for four dollars, so I thought it couldn't hurt to give them a shot. This album shocked me with how good it was!
Let's start with the instrumentals. Purely amazing. Very technical throughout the album with amazing guitar solos. There are clean sections, but most of the times it adds to the song and actually sounds good(i.e, near the end of Suis La
Luna). But what caught my eye is how quickly the band can change tempo from slower to fast without using any transition and without missing a beat and keeping everything synchronized. Also, the vocalist works amazing with the instrumentals. He does the usual low/high vocals that is the norm today, but he does it well. He reminds me of the vocalist of
Diskreet sound wise. Everything fits together perfectly, with little oil/water clash with the mathcore/deathcore mix.
Some of the faults of the album are the quiet sections. The lengthy, weird, almost bluegrass endings. Joseph Fritzl totally ruins the flow of the album and that song in general, along with that song's lengthy, slow breakdown. Also, the quiet ending to
Dead Girls doesn't fit at all, which is why I had the original oil/water assumption of this band.
In all, this is a really great album. 18/20. My personal favorite song is Apollo's
Lyre. It's a real shame this band broke up last year because I'd love to see where they'd go next with their music. I'd recommend this to anyone who's getting into or who's already into deathcore, mathcore or who wants to hear something different but still with a deathcore feel.
