AFTER DUSK – THE CHARACTER OF PHYSICAL LAW (Review by Varg The Mighty )

 

Today’s review is of Greek Heavy Metal band After Dusk’s album “The Character Of Physical Law”.

While an exact subgenre is hard to pin for this album, it clearly has the essence of Greek Heavy Metal, although sometimes it adopts a harder sound more comparable with Thrash Metal, an epic undertone of Power Metal or the overall glory of Epic Heavy Metal at its finest.

Even with this broad definition some details escape, such as the occasional fuzzy sound of Stoner Metal or the perfectly implemented keyboards which offer the grandiose singularity of these songs, adding additional layers to their modern-Iron Maiden-like melodies. Combined with an ideal voice, the album sounds better after each play once their uniqueness stops being so enigmatic. My personal highlights are “Masters Of Earth” and “Even The Sun Must Die”.

I recommend this album to fans of Epic Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Stoner Metal and Thrash Metal. My rating is of 9/10.
