Empyreal Vault
S/T
Great Dane Records
It`s the album of distinct studio production. Every drum beat delivers brightly sound, pedals sound like anti-aircraft machine gun, and every string vibrations that coming out of the guitar distortions heats up a death metal sound from this French band. Vocals mainly sound brutal, and singer is strongly involved in building a music environment for this record, also by modelling his vocals otherly than bands usually do in death metal... The album has a sense of technicality. It`s because the guitarists do some complicated crafts on their axes in style of technical death metal that require a bit of attention from the person who follow and want to understand the music. The songs also have some rhythm breakdowns (like in death core sub-genre) that are heavier moments on the album.
My favorite songs are The Ritual and Forgotten Titan which provides instrumental and nearly metaphysical sensations when I listen to these songs and its groove, and well structured songs that the band is constantly challenging in the music.
Death Bringer is a brutal tune too. As many other tracks it`s complex song with aggressive guitar shreds and cosmic-ambients in between. Many of vocal effects remind me of P. Masvidal from Cynic.
Pace of songs varies but fast ones prevail. I like those tracks where the band takes time and escapes from typical death metal arrangements and tries to emarge a strange feeling of infinity of the universe by experimenting with the sound. They try to do it frequently in almost each track which is a diversity that many other bands do not have.
I think it`s a good album which will throw you into an orbit where the only sound you will be able to hear is death metal from Empyreal Vault.
