Origin - Finland
Genre - Melodic Death Metal
" This is the debut full-length from this Finnish act who plays your general melodic Swedish death metal, adding in their own flare with a few keyboard textures and some blazing classic metal solos. Expect lots of dual guitar harmonies, some tremolo picking, a few heavier power chord rhythms, midrange vocal snarls, a constant sense of melody, an occasional power metal vibe, etc "
" "The Perfumed Garden" starts out with a brief clean snippet before breaking into some excellent guitar harmonies and lead runs, and the layering of power chords with pristine acoustic guitars is really nice. Overall the writing for this track is more interesting and diverse than usual, definitely proving that the band has their own take on the style. Another standout is "The Emptiness of Spirit", which is definitely a lot more energetic than most of this stuff tends to be these days, and effectively combines most all of the band's influences into one concise track. "Son's Thoughts" has a huge Amorphis feel during the intro, very much akin to something that might have been on "Tuonela", and the rest of the piece sounds eerily similar to some of Dark Tranquillity's later work, but it's still a great song "
This is a fine debut....and fans of Insomnium,Dark Tranquillity and the like should check it out !
