It`s a fifth album from Belgian band Panchrysia.
The album consists of a few typically sounding black metal songs, played with some barbaric spark, but they do not heat the atmosphere of the music to the mental state where war and brutal blaze in your head is about to start. No, they are not Immortal type of band. Panchrysia plays black metal with classic but little elements of Norwegian sound (28 Steps) as we know it but they also try to extend the music and invade you with songs that have some death metal vibe in it. There is a slower/fast song that sounds darker and compile black/death/gothic atmospherics but actually it`s a good one - Kairos. Extreme vocals sound acceptable when sung extremely (Gilgamesh), while verbal declamations sometimes work well and sounds okay, other times lame which are definitely something to void. Their music has aggressive fragments, but I have the impression that the band wants to rich out some rebellious spirituality and add it to the music so the atmosphere of this album gets some depth around their black and death metal sound. They do not go down the worst with this combination (War With Heaven, Rats), but I'm also far from overestimating their efforts because this album sounds rather ordinary and cliche. Sometimes the construction of the songs plots some melodic guitar leads which is fine, but the only way I am able to think of this album; it`s very average, black metal release.
As for a band with five albums in discography and 20 years of playing metal, I would expect much better music from Panchrysia. In my opinion, this is another black metal album that does not changes anything or very little which is basically not enough for me to get interested in their music, in longer perspective.
Tracklist:
1 Each Against All
2 Salvation
3 Gilgamesh
4 Kairos
5 War With Heaven
6 Never To See The Light Again
7 28 Steps
8 Rats
