Today’s review is of Danish Modern Metal band Urban Primate’s new album.
This band creates here a soothing aura of Americanised metal that brings to mind acts such as Avenged Sevenfold or Five Finger Death Punch, but they also imbue their compositions with some extra heaviness that is later compensated with Grunge inspired bits (something that reminds of certain Stoner Metal bands, though besides this detail no further comparison with the genre may be found). As a result, the album is easy to listen to, but it also has some harshness that may aid newcomers in their pursuit for heavier music while striving in their quest for freshness.
As so, the full-length may be somewhat commercially friendly, and although its straightforwardness, atmospheric essence and display of emotion with some melodramatic excessiveness may scare off the strictest purists, fans of classic metal may not be too fond of the release but may not find it too unappealing either. My personal highlights are “Won’t Follow” and “Walk Away”.
I recommend this album to fans of Modern Metal. My rating is of 8/10.
