Today’s review is of Swedish Death Metal band Circle Of Chaos’ new album.
This release offers a classic sounding Swedish Death Metal assault that also leans strongly towards Melodic Death Metal, although not in an excessive way and mostly maintaining classic Death Metal as the main theme. As so, it may remind of Unleashed or early At The Gates, and the release may appeal to fans of both subgenres alike, even if they’re elitists of any of the two.
The release is powerful, it fully embraces the supreme Swedish sonority and it keeps an ideal balance between straightforward fury and melodic catchiness, bathing it all in a subtle amount of elegance. My personal highlights are the title track and “Embracing Chaos”.
I recommend this album to fans of Swedish Death Metal and Melodic Death Metal. My rating is of 9/10.
