OUTSHINE – THE AWAKENING
Gothic Metal band Outshine’s new album.
This release draws heavy influences from Type O Negative and mostly goes in the same direction, although the Today’s review is of Swedish vocal performance differs and lacks some force. On the other side, the music incorporates a fairly high use of synth that creates a stable atmosphere for the melancholic riffs to be developed upon.
While some songs are fairly straightforward, others are longer and take a slightly progressive approach that gives some extra textures to the band’s artistic expression. Overall, the composition follows most of the same principles that were prevalent during the genre’s emergence, but there’s also some freshness to it. The good implementation of many piano lines is also notable. If you’re looking for something depressive, dark and melodic you should check this out. My personal highlights are “It’s All Lies” and “Love Is Dead”.
I recommend this album to fans of Gothic Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10.
