Arch Enemy long ago stopped only to be Swedish band, although originally they started as one. Now, they are international band of creative and fantastic talented musicians still led by Michael Amott formerly known of Carcass, Carnage and couple of more bands. This is Arch Enemy’s album number 13, first one in three years. This opus contains 11 songs, one being Blaspheme cover. It starts pretty aggressive in their trademark harsh death thrash metal way with energetic Dream Stealer. What I love about this band are epic guitar melodies thrown in brutality courtesy of Amott and Joey Concepcion topped with fantastic voice of singer Alissa White-Gluz who started to vary between her brutal growling and clean melodic singing in last couple of albums. One of the most epic and melodic songs with beautiful clean vocals chorus is for sure Illuminate The Path, one of my favorites on this record. Title song is also one of my highlights on this record, because I love more those melodic epic songs with so called Swedish guitars and this one nailed it like no other on this record. Couple of more songs I must mention on this album are The Pendulum, Paper Tiger and Liars & Thieves. This is not one of their best works but it is a damn good album.
Dug put je Six Feet Under prošao od side projekta članova Cannibal Corpse i Obituary u svom začetku do full benda nakon izbacivanja Chris Barnesa pjevača Cannibal Corpsea. Evo novi album sa 12 stvari plus obradom Nazareth pošto je ovaj bend poznat da voli obrađivati tuđe stvari u svojim death metal aranžmanima. Što se tiče novih stvari ima više dobrih nego loših. I dalje je tu mid tempo i sporiji death metal udarač kao što je recimo When The Moon Goes Down In Blood ili Neanderthal, ali ima tu i inspiracije sa Euro školom death metala i poprilično thrasha i upravo te brže i agresivnije stvari su meni favoriti na ovom albumu kao što su Ascension, Bestial Savagery ili Mass Causalty Murdericide. Trade mark Chris Barnesovo pjevanje je i dalje tu, iako pjeva brutalno poprilično ga se razumije i to je dodatan plus ovoj legendi death metala. Možda mi na prvu ovaj album nije sjeo, ali slušajući ga pozornije radi se o sasvim dobrom death metal albumu s puno thrasha, čak i prilično europske škole death metala i jedini što mu fali je malo više raznoličnosti jer su poneke stvari slične, pa ti se čini kao da slušaš jednu te istu pjesmu neko vrijeme. Nije njihov top album, ali okej je.
BELETH are Chris Long and Sebasthian Bentos-Pereira
“Black Speech” is a track taken from BELETH critically acclaimed album “Silent Genesis” out via Wormholedeath worldwide.
Black Speech is about depression taking a physical form, and speaking to you from behind, trying to manipulate and influence your thoughts and decisions, and ultimately destroy you.
BELETH music delivers a dark, heavy, driving punch, with an element of groove, catchy riffs, and ferocious, guttural vocals. Influences come from a large and diverse background of metal sub-genres, which can make it difficult to pinpoint a specific category to their sound.
