American Withered Eye Traditionally based on technical death metal. Also First Sign of Life, their half-hour EP Pitiful Still confidently assigned to the progressive death metal realm from 2020. Thematically, they stick to the genre and explore the depths of human nature, loneliness and mental anguish.

and Painful customization The first hour-long player is available. The band made noticeable changes, moving towards greater musical breadth. Complex death metal remains the basis for doom passages and temporary sounds in black metal. This album reaches a level that all old friends admire Opes and catatonia Your eyes filled with tears of joy.

Revenge isn’t always sweet

Anyone who has ever believed in this old saying will feel yearned for it after hearing it. Painful customization Realize that this succinct popular saying doesn’t apply here. Withered Eye Myself in Australian Horror Movies nightingale Impressively, they combine the themes of the current album with the values ​​of pain, loss, revenge, revenge and anger. The basis of the film thus depicts many emotional moments that are not only lyrical but also of varying musical intensity.

From the first moments of the album, there are no sweet melodies, but dark moods are present throughout. The breadth of composition Painful customization No longer does the simple category of death metal justice. Through brutal and melancholy sections, interspersed barks and complex structures, a work is created that can somewhat embarrassingly be described as melodically progressive black-end death metal.

The beginning of tragedy

like an overture guiding us tragedy Enter the topic. The instruments play for a long time before adding growls and black metal sounds. To emphasize the drama, symphonic keyboards can also be heard. What Withered Eye Giving us music doesn’t actually change the world. The mix of death and black metal, as well as the blend of growling and chattering sounds has always been rooted in the genre. still sounds Painful customization Consistently refreshing. It’s the dynamics within the songs and their progression from one song to the next that brings variety.

The first part of the album in particular gets off to a rocky start thematically. The drama begins right from the opening scene. The songs ostensibly have a death metal feel to them, culminating in melancholy guitar work and relaxation. As the album progresses, it sounds almost flawlessly executed. repertoire Injuried, hostile state and Howl beyond the mist Have dimensions and paint understandable cinematic images in your mind. I want a message type here Howl beyond the mist Offerings covering all genres from traditional metal to black metal.

Brutal, dirty and complicated

After this, the album doesn’t lose momentum, but the tension is no longer as high as it was in the first part of the album. A feast of worms passages that sparkle with doom pale Play black metal sounds with melancholic guitar. musical instrument playing nightingale Cheer for us silently pious silence one. The song starts out sluggishly but then gathers momentum, hammering into our heads brutally and disgustingly. theme song Painful customization Album ends. The four Americans brainstormed and sang at the top of their lungs for more than ten minutes. It’s not easy to handle due to its complexity, but it becomes more and more enjoyable after listening to it a few times.

in conclusion
Withered Eye Relying on tried and tested methods that still give us near-perfect results. Painful customization Contains well-produced Blackend Death Metal, relaxing with melancholy guitars and doomy passages. The result is a one-hour production full of atmosphere and dramatic storytelling. 9/10
