(review) Causam – Doomsday Rapture

cover

Causam are hailing from Switzerland and this is their first full length album. This record contains eight songs, one being intro. Music of Causam can be described as fast yet melodic black metal. Their music creates atmosphere of aggression, sorrow, despair, yet at the same time melancholy with excellent melodies and guitar work. Drumming is mainly blast beats, yet turning at times into beautiful atmospheric passages just reminding me why I love black metal so much, being best music for expressing all of your emotions. My personal favorites are Beauty of Decay and Eternal, although all of the songs are just excellent. Vocals are black metal screeching but being perfect and fitting fantastic to the song structures. The lyrical themes are more deep and personal than in your face Satanic verses and the mixture of epic music and great lyrics make this one of the best black metal records that came out this year until now.

Dead Shape Figure’s new single is a critical statement about picking the easy solutions to difficult problems

Vocalist Galzi backgrounds the song:“Stupidity Breeds False Idols is a critical statement. Before the strangle grip of difficult question and impossible choises people tend to hold on to the easy solutions that serve nobody. This a starting point for thoughts of a lonely thinker.”
