Forgotten tomb
whose name not to be mixed up for! its
sounds!
the band has always done what they
always saw fit their work!
and I truly admire that.
lately there hasn't been much extreme
surprises in record wise, but I do think this one counts, its very
different the new material even if it's still possesses the same
lyrical theme, the bands sound has indeed changed a lot over the
years from 2003 Springtime Depression which I still to this day hold
as a classic in my eyes,
dark depressive melodies, that really
makes your soul to weep...
the gloomy atmosphere is still left in
their new material...
even if its faster, and more brutal
sound maybe is the right word!
The new record blends elements of doom
and black metal into one big party!
even if I can't stop thinking at some
points it reminds me of death metal...
heavy riffs along the way that holds a
barrier of feelings...
the songs are catchy in so many ways
its hard to not listen and enjoy,
If I was to describe the sound I'd say
its a mixture of Doom metal, Old school death metal... with their
overall black metal lyrical theme..
the drums are angry and fast not really
slow at all that I may be first expected, but never the less its good
powerful sound.. The guitar tone is very modern,
no very dirty at all infact the whole
production is very clean and punchy sounding...
mostly likely tuned down guitars , the
vocals are screaming and furingly impressive...
yet they are clear in the sound...
I do think with this sound they would
appeal to more people in the death metal areas... but then again
there are hints of their previous work indeed so its not that strange
to hear this,
some songs are quite obviously more
doomy feel to it I think my favorite so far is
number 1 Soulless uppheaveal for its
clearly black metal feel and the structure in the songs,
as we dive deeper into the songs we
hear much more of their old style but with a more modern edge to
it... which is why I mean its good , but I do kinda miss the old
Springtime sound...
but I am not the one who would bother
about a bands natrual change..
infact I enjoy this record as much as
if it would been their first work...
I admit I haven't heard that much of Forgotten Tomb in the last years but its always nice to hear new and see how
things develop,
i find it bit different indeed to write
a reveiw over a cup of coffee among flesh, yet I don't mind
the isolation of solitude that this new record brings...
As we move along to the near bitter
end, a string of slow melodies appears!
I didn't quite expect that but its a
nice change of phase the really slow sorrowful guitars are back just
like Springtime depression... indeed a instrumental piece of art
to sum up this record is as always a
challenge to me as I would say I its unfair to sometimes rate a
record because I truly enjoy them all...
for different reasons, but still a
person can miss something that maybe is not that obvious in the music
anymore...
But I can still feel that this album
did please my hunger
and indeed gives a craving for more.
so lets see what they are up to next?
If i had to rate this record I'd say
it's definitely worth a listen
6,5/10 still I not quite as good as
Springtime album but hey its just me!
