Thank you so fucking much!
I check my list of "Swedish melodic black/death metal" bands regularly...and was desperately waiting for a new album with their new live drummer. But they never mentioned a new album was in the making, so this is a hell of a surprise. I liked their older stuff but the drum sound was just terrible, it really detracted from the otherwise great music.
Let's see what this one sounds like....My expectations are pretty high, so let's hope they'll be fulfilled.
-###After listening to the first 3 songs + intro###-
The drums again sound too artificial, very little variation during the beats...there could have been much much more fills.
I kind of have this feeling that the band uses a drum machine on purpose on their recordings. No, not because their drummer isn't fast enough, or isn't tight enough ( I'm pretty sure their drummer can pull off the lines with ease). But because it is cheaper, when it comes to recording the album. One of the hardest and longest processes is recording the drums therefore making it an expensive process.
The drums, at least, sound better this time around...quite a bit better actually than on their previous album, because the snare drum sounds way better now.
The rest of the album sounds pretty fine. (I'm listening as I'm writing this). But me being a musician myself, doesn't let go of the feeling that this album was recorded at home and mixed mastered at a studio, or maybe it was all recorded at home. I'm saying goes that because the guitars sound very linear, and have no dynamics to the sound.
The vocals are really well performed. They're very vicious! They are very death metallish (with out any really high screams), and in combination with the guitars remind me quite a bit of Aeternus. Overall the album is a pretty nice step upwards. If they fix the above mentioned drum problem, this album would have been simply awesome. Well, maybe the next album will be better.
