 Isolation Songs is an exciting work but not yet exceptional.

 Birth, to be listened to in strict silence and with utmost concentration, is probably the highest expression of the sextet’s musical and communicative power.

Isolation Songs by Ghost Brigade is a compelling fusion of melodic death metal enriched with sludge and nu-metal elements rooted in Finnish metal traditions. The album shines through its engaging melodies, atmospheric production, and strong instrumental performance. However, the vocals are considered the album’s weakest point, lacking variety and expressiveness. While not yet exceptional, the album is a confident step forward from their debut. Listen to Ghost Brigade's Isolation Songs and experience a deeply atmospheric journey through melodic death metal's dark and melancholic soundscapes.

 The best ingredient of this band is undoubtedly the sound that relies especially on the melodies of a violin and a cello.

 It’s just a shame that they try to be too thrash, and this is poorly executed... but for the rest OK!!!!

Hevein's Sound Over Matter is a beautiful debut from the Finnish band, distinguished by its clever use of violin and cello, especially with former Apocalyptica cellist Max Lilja. The album mixes powerful guitar riffs with melodic and emotional choruses, and although their thrash attempts are weak, the rest of the album is strong and varied. Songs like 'As Far As The Eye Can See' and 'Worth Fighting For' stand out for their memorable melodies and emotional depth. This debut appeals to a broad audience, blending elements of doom, gothic, and melodic black metal. Listen to Hevein’s Sound Over Matter to experience a unique blend of melodic metal and classical strings!
