Greece’s finest produce a work of art that is sure to change the outlook of metal in the country for years to come.
“For Real,” a song that comes in with chimes and an edge, slowly moves into darkened territory, with an added bite. The guitars weave a chaotic frequency around the world, before they slowly and surely shift in gear. The vocals are on point and filled with aggression and pressure. “The Fall,” starts off with duelling bass and acoustic motiffs, it then moves into something else entirely, a duelling masterpiece that ensures the listener will not be forgetting about it in a hurry. “Fight,” rip roars right into being, slowly shifting the tones into outright aggression. A fantastic song. “Dead End,” is epic. Epic in a doom sort of way, a song that brings to life many elements of the band that have gone before and elements which have yet to be explored. “Get Lost,” swaggers through on the back of a sizeable bass riff, which allows for growth and demonstrations of aggression.
“Saddest Truth,” adds elements of funk to proceedings, growing with a shifting tone. The vocals bite and through them all a new interesting perspective is added. “Blackness,” comes in heavy with the upright hook. It also adds in a chaos filter that is quite cool, the vocals once more soar on the back of a mighty melody. “Hit The Ground,” a shifting tone that brings about some fascinating clearances, and adds into the world some shifting and changing melodies. “Heaven’s Crying,” the title track of the record, is one that hits you right in the gut. Smack bang right there, through the centre and into everything else that is there. A perfect way to finish a great album.
The album is out on 13th September via Rock of Angels Records.
