(record review)Genus Ordinis Dei-“Great Olden Dynasty”(Eclipse Records Inc)

Leave a comment

Genus Ordinis Dei come from Italy, the city of Crema. I must admit I have never heard of this band prior to this record, but I am really glad that I have heard them now, because this is excellent stuff.

Great Olden Dynasty - Genus Ordinis Dei - cover art 1600

They play some sort of modern melodic symphonic death metal with a touch of progressiveness in the song structures. If I must compare the music of this band to someone it would be like Edge of Sanity circa “Purgatory Afterglow” era met Ex Deo. I am talking symphonic parts with choruses, some nice keyboard haunting backgrounds evolving to main melody, catchy guitar hooks and memorable song melodies. Thats how I like my death metal to sound:epic, bombastic, grandiose and aggressive at the same time. Vocals are various and that makes them more enjoyable meaning there are growls, angry almost hardcore like shouting and melodic clean singing. Certainly one of the highlights of the album is for sure “Salem” with guest vocals provided by none other than Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil but this is not the best song on the album, because they are all equally awesome.

9/10

ELM TREE CIRCLE is a four-piece Emo Pop-Punk band from Germany. Over the last few years, the band has been engaged in extensive touring playing numerous shows across Europe up to Asia and abroad, sharing the stage with such iconic acts as THE ATARIS, PEARS and SUCH GOLD. After a successful 2017 including tours through Australia, Japan, Europe and the UK the band is now looking forward to their most significant year so far.

Alongside the release of their first full length album The Good Life the band will for the first time embark on a tour featuring their full line-up, serving everyone, from English breakfast tea drinkers to Swiss fondue fanatics with an exquisite menu of handcrafted songs. They already unveiled their first single Feel The Burn taken from this upcoming album and now you can also listen to their brand-new single The Lease with their 360° music video.

Set to release on the 11th of May 2018 through KROD RECORDS, The Good Life is a lovely
piece of modern emo-punk.The band has evolved towards a style that inherits all the classic influences of their 2000s pop-punk heroes paired with a good touch of emotional lyrics, melancholic chords and distinct vocal lines that spin in your head after the first listen.
