(review) Afraid of Destiny – ‘Contra Omnes’ (Talheim Records)

Još jedan bend s moćne talijanske underground scene je pred nama. Afraid of Destiny su iz Trevisa i ovo je njihov novi album koji je izašao uz pomoć Talheim Records. Na albumu čiji naziv znači protiv svih, se nalaze sedam pjesama, od kojih su neke stvarno malo poduže, ali to u ovom žanru koji sviraju nije problem. Afraid of Destiny sviraju miks melodičnog, atmosferičnog black metala s onim što zovu depressive black metal. No, ovdje nije riječ o nekom trećerazrednom Burzum klonu, već o odličnom melodic black metal bendu koji je do nedavno bio one man project čovjeka zvanog Adimere. No, koliko se vidi iz podataka sada su punokrvni bend. Obožavam kako je ovaj album napisan. Daje točno prekrasnu kombinaciju brzih i očajničkih žestokih blast beatova i sporijih doom pasaža, kao i ambijentalnih klavijaturnih dijelova spojenih sa odlično napisanim gitarama i vokalima koji variraju od izmučenih blackerskih screamova do šaptanja preko govora i clean vokala. Teme kao što su ‘Anti’, ‘Lullaby’ i ‘Breath’ će vas sigurno oduševiti ako volite ovakvu glazbu i shvatiti da je black metal jedan od najboljih žanrova za izražavanje osjećaja i agresije.
