Review:
YES!
This is great! This is a concept album by Kam Lee's project and Jesus fucking Christ is it badass! It's full of amazing riffs, crazy vocals, awesome lyrics and intros and it's just an all around headbanging album! never before have I gotten that into a god damn breakdown before, and don't let that turn you away! This is straight up death metal, no fucking slam/deathcore shit. This is badass metal with badass musicians do badass things with their badass instruments.
The guitars are all around great (Thanks to Rogga). The riffs are catchy and very nicely played. They add some amazing atmosphere throughout and really set a dark and creepy mood for the album. I wish there were some cool solos through out but, fuck it, this is too killer for any form of complaining. This is where you sit back, relax, turn this on and prepare to be blown away.
The drums are very nice as well. The double bass is a constant reminder that this drummer "don't need no rest". The cymbal play is pulled off very nicely and the rolls/fills are neat (if not a little underused). All in all, it's shit you can headband to, if not overly technical (which isn't a bad thing by any means).
The vocals, now this is where it shines. Kam Lee sounds DEMENTED! He sounds like he just pulled his own ass out of a coffin and just started roaring. His vocals drip of evil, atmosphere and DEATH. The vocals for the most part are mid pitched growls with a few short higher pitched screams and some raspy backing vocals. Very nicely done. Kam Lee has not aged a fucking day (vocal wise at least, who's to say he hasn't gathered a few battle scars).
Overall this is a badass album, almost perfect to be honest, the few and far between minor flaws are very hard to pick up on and really don't hamper down the album much. For the most part it's insane Lovecraft based death metal the way it should be. Fast, unrelenting and fucking creepy!
BUY IT!
Final Score:
4.5/5
