Today’s review is of Singaporean Progressive Death Metal band Adarrak’s debut album.
This release offers a melodically complex concept with enough of an aggressive element as to also appeal to fans of straightforward Death Metal. With virtuous solos and passages combined with a brutal aggression that is well mastered in the region, the result mixes clear vocals and ominous parts with fast paced and gruesome aspects in a correctly structured way that reeks of modernity and freshness while conserving the essence of the genre, often leaning as well towards a Melodic Death Metal approach.
As aforementioned, it is a decent full-length in the eyes of a purist, but listeners of more technical genres may also find some additional layers of depth that synchronize well with their aura. Notably, some songs also have an almost Doom feeling that makes the whole a lot heavier. My personal highlights are “Final Ethos Demise” and “Mettle”.
I recommend this album to fans of Death Metal, especially of Melodic Death Metal and Progressive Death Metal. My rating is of 8/10.
