THE REVIEW
Second chapter after "Acceleration" from 2004 for the Norwegians Age Of Silence, this time it's an EP with only three tracks.
"Complications - Trilogy of Intricacy" is a (mini) album that aims to be quite direct, after all, it must not be very easy to say everything you have to say in just over a quarter of an hour, the group immediately plays all the cards they can. However, despite the intentions, the result is good but not exciting. The technique is very good (Impeccable Hellhammer, there's nothing left to add about him anymore) and very impressive in my opinion is Andy Winter on the keyboard, perhaps the musician who struck me the most. The rest, however, seems almost just a backdrop, all instruments well played, but giving much the impression of a "task" carried out just to pass.
The voice is peculiar, often filtered. It almost seems "synthesized" in certain passages, an effect that personally makes me cringe a bit, obviously if you are a fan of filtered voices then you'll find the singer's work of high level.
In conclusion, a work that reaches sufficiency, but too bland to achieve something more.

Summary by Bot
The EP 'Complications - Trilogy of Intricacy' by Age Of Silence showcases impressive technical skills, especially from drummer Hellhammer and keyboardist Andy Winter. However, the short format with three tracks feels like a task completed without excitement. The filtered vocals divide opinion, and overall the release is competent but lacks emotional depth.Tracklist
