‘The Dawn Of Ares’ by Xenos
Rating
Musical Feel
Song / Album Composition
“I Am The Machine,” works like a boulder. Starting off with a solid thump and then pushing into a galloping frenzy, demonstrating rage and aggression for all and sundry.
“The Dawn of Ares,” is complex, multi-layered and thoughtful. The acoustic openings shift and trill through before giving way to a slow moving aggressive poison that titillates the world and hammers it home.
“Shields,” is aggressive. A song meant to draw up on humanity’s urges, forcing them through and unwinding the world through the tumultuous of time.
“The Prophet,” is a head banger, raging from dawn to dusk, slapping through the hammerhead, and hitting the whirlwind throughout.
“The Healer,” is classic thrash, and a fitting finale.
The album is out on June 25th.
