Danes SLAEGT are back with their new, full length opus number four. These guys have been around more than a decade and this new one represents the current state of the band playing a rather progressive version of black death metal with some thrash metal guitar solos here and there that sound fantastic. Blast beats are smartly thrown in, the whole songwriting capabilities of Slaegt are impressive, because although guitar work may sound a bit chaotic and dissonant upon first listening, as you delve deeper into the songs of this opus, you realize the greatness you are witnessing. I love stop and go aggression of Kiss from a Knife, but one can not mistake old school metal influences in my personal favorite Hunt Again. I also love above all the title song being so epic that I listened to it over and over again. Vocals tell another story, from death metal growls to some black metal screaming, those vary depending on song atmosphere and need. This album has a perfect might to enter your mind and make you hungry bloodthirsty beasts, but also to satisfy your emotions and calm your blackened old metal heart. Good one indeed.
Danske metalbilly legende Volbeat su se vratili sa novim studijskim albumom. Bend se trenutno nalazi na američkoj turneji a odličnim švedskim Ghost i jako bih volio taj paket vidjeti u Europi jednog dana uskoro. No, do onda ostaje da uživamo u novom albumu ovog odličnog benda. Za one koji ne znaju, Volbeat svira metalbilly, nekakvu mješavinu metala i rockabilly/psychobilly-a. Prije nekoliko albuma skrenuli su možda u malo melodičnije, više mainstream vode, ali meni ne smeta, pošto još uvijek pišu odlične pjesme, sa odličnim uvijek prepoznatljivim vokalom Michaela Poulsena. Na ovom albumu nije iznimka, odlični oštri skoro thrash metal riffovi, koji s takvom lakoćom podupiru poletne i odlične harmonije i catchy melodije, himnične refrene i osjećaš se kao da kruzaš po fifties gradu u kadilaku sa svojim gangom dok ti topli kasno proljetni vjetar miluje lici, a topao asfalt i prazna ulica odjekuje batom tvojih čizama i neograničenim snovima. Moje omiljene stvari na ovom albumu su Wait A Minute My Girl, Say No More, Lasse´s BIrgita, a tu je i odlična obrada Metallice Don´t Tread On Me. Odličan album, čak bolji od prošlog.
Tvivler means one who doubts and this is their debut full length album. The record contains 15 songs and the music of this band from Denmark is very interesting. It is basically hardcore punk, but has a lot of different influences in the smartly done song structures. There are classic d beat apocalypse songs, mixed with screamo atmospheric parts, evolving into almost atmospheric and gentle post punk parts of the songs. The lyrics are in Danish language, but I got the translations and English explanations of the songs, and the themes are forgiveness, fear, love, desire and basically all the feelings we as humans can experience and through which we can relate to. There are lots of fast upbeat hardcore punk songs with fast drumming, cutting guitars evolving into almost sad melodies and melancholy pure. The vocals are superb, also experimental weird saxophone parts fit perfectly to the songs they participate to. This is a strong debut album and I only wish to find out how this stuff sounds live on stage.
