Publicado por demigod56 en No hay comentarios:. Etiquetas: black symphonic. Etiquetas: death metal. Can it rejuvenate their passion for the embrace of their cultural heritage without limiting the totemic metal power they have spent so long building?
Read on for the answer…. The guitar tone is utterly crushing, fusing effortlessly with the rampaging rhythmic attack of bass and drums working in perfect synchronicity. The keys and abstract instrumentation float ethereally around the sound, adding nuanced layers of depth and style, without diverting an ounce of intensity or attention from elsewhere. Yet the most obvious change that listeners will notice is in the vocals of singer Freddy Lim , who relies less on his traditional primal screech this time around, opting instead for a shockingly brutal array of guttural death growls which demonstrate some serious improvement in both his range and power.
Personally I prefer the former, but both versions have their charm! Addressing as it does the forcible induction and sacrifice of the Takasago Army, a unit of the Japanese Army taken from Taiwan during World War II, this record sees the band completely fired up, brimming with passion and righteous indignation, capturing the frustration and sense of violation which the abuse of the Taiwanese people has engendered, along with a palpable sense sorrow, loss and confusion.
The finale of the song is an eruption of rapid-fire riffs and gale-force drums, crowned with a spiky, electrifying solo and a series of stratospheric leads, and the primal, vehement vocal exhortations of vocalist Freddy Lim which end the album on a stunning high note. This record re-captures and builds upon the new-found aggression the band displayed on Mirror Of Retribution , but welds it far more organically onto a more impressively complex and instrumentally diverse core of armour-plated Oriental metal, which embellishes an impressive concoction of Western black and melodic death metal elements with a compelling mixture of culturally distinctive and diverse sounds and melodies.
It might take a while to say for certain, but this could well be amongst the best records Chthonic has ever put out. The material is consistently strong and fundamentally evocative of deep-seated historical and cultural themes, while each member seems to be playing at their very best, with particular praise going to the increased ferocity and drastically improved skills demonstrated by vocalist Freddy Lim, guitarist Jesse Liu and drummer Dani Wang.
Earlier this week, Chthonic released their second music video based on the album we previously featured the superb first video here. Love the use of that Japanese violin thingy. Quality touch! Funny, yesterday, while listening to that song from the earlier post, i thought to myself: when can i get my hands on this new album. Kudos to Andy for, yet again, a great review.
