Unforgiven

 Everything seems studied and, above all, already heard.

 They lack the emotional component, which is what makes an album stand out among thousands.

Origin's 2005 album Echoes Of Decimation showcases technical skills and varied riffing but suffers from an excessive coldness and lack of emotional engagement. The vocals are harsh and varied, yet the overall impression is of a band emulating past greats without distinct impact. Only a few tracks stand out, but they cannot salvage the entire album. Discover the detailed review of Origin's Echoes Of Decimation and decide if its brutal technicality suits your metal taste.

 The songs are all excellently executed, the sound of the string instruments is captivating despite the genre not being the most aggressive.

 The listener is left with no choice but to take the headphones and dive into 21 minutes of good music.

Winds' debut mini album 'Of Entity and Mind' delivers a refined blend of progressive metal and neoclassical elements. The technical skills of all members shine through the five excellently executed tracks. Andy Winter's atmospheric keyboard work and Hellhammer's imaginative drumming perfectly complement the string instruments, creating a captivating listening experience. Despite its short length, the album offers consistent high-quality music recommended for all genres lovers. Listen to Winds' captivating progressive metal debut and explore the blend of technical skill and neoclassical atmosphere.

 The album still has the same sad and decaying atmospheres but seems to have fewer ideas and less inventiveness.

 The performance of the new singer is sufficient but light years away from the growl that Renske proposed in 'Rain Without End'.

October Tide’s second album Grey Dawn retains its signature sad and decaying doom/death metal sound but shows fewer creative ideas compared to its predecessor. The new vocalist Marten Hansen's performance is competent but lacks the powerful growl of former vocalist Jonas Renske, sometimes resulting in monotony. Despite this, standout tracks like "Floating" and "Lost In The Dark (And Then Gone)" showcase the band’s strengths. Overall, it's a solid album recommended for fans of the genre. Discover October Tide’s Grey Dawn — dive into its melancholic riffs and decide if it stands out in doom metal.

 The technique is very good (Impeccable Hellhammer, there’s nothing left to add about him anymore).

 In conclusion, a work that reaches sufficiency, but too bland to achieve something more.

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. Discover Age Of Silence’s unique blend of technical prowess and atmospheric metal—listen to 'Complications - Trilogy of Intricacy' today.

 Each note is extended to the extreme, the slow riffing takes the listener to a world of desolation and solitude accentuated even more by the violin breaks.

 Rain Without End is a true 'endless rain,' a rain of emotions, particularly heavy emotions, sad and oppressive.

October Tide's debut album Rain Without End offers a powerful Death/Doom Metal experience, rich in despair and emotional depth. The album is influenced by Katatonia but develops its own sound, highlighted by violin interludes and expressive growls by Jonas Renkse. Standout tracks include '12 Days Of Rain,' 'Losing Tomorrow,' and 'Sightless,' each showcasing different facets of the band's artistry. This album is highly recommended for fans of dark, atmospheric metal. Dive into October Tide's Rain Without End and experience a journey through deep despair and dark beauty in Death/Doom Metal.
