Description

After a 17 year break after their brilliant album Irae Melanox, Adramelch come back in full force with their brilliant songwriting, riffs, and vocals. This album is less progressive in a sense than Irae Melanox, yet definitely a fucking brilliant album. In this album, the production is much better and the riffs are easily heard and still crush you. The band plays more of a heavy/epic metal style now, which means shorter song; however, the band has not lost any of their epic-ness. So what’s so good about this album? The fucking riffs annihilate you, continually. The dual guitars and bass interweave with harmonies and just insanely complex dual melodies. At times, while listening to the album, I just sit there in complete awe on how absolutely stunning the melodies are put together. I feel this way because the band doesn’t take the traditional approach of a riff then playing a nice melody overtop (like Iron Maiden), but they are both playing leads that cumulate with tension and epicness. The only band that can rival this dual guitar brilliance is Psychotic Waltz. As with their previous album, there is a constant medieval theme with a feeling of a hatred of the one in power. This is perfectly suitable for an epic metal album. The album has great songwriting, great riffs, and great vocals so if you love epic metal and face melting riffs, this album is for you.
