The band Fall of
the Leafe has tried a little bit of a new approach to their
music in their latest effort "Fermina." They have steered
away from their typical death metal style vocals. Only a few times
are they even heard, and have been replaced with harmonies and even
a majestic sound to Hanninen's voice. Fall of the Leafe has a great
writing ability and it reminds me a little of Amorphis. A couple
tracks on this nine song album I think are excellent. "Counterfeit
Bloom" has a great riff in the middle of the song and it's
very aggressive. My favorite track on this disk is track seven,
"Fermination, Smooth and Fine." The harmony in the chorus
of the song is quite majestic and possesses incredible power. "Blind
Carbon Copies" is another good track, that stands out in a
field of pretty decent tracks. I was a little startled when I first
heard the changes they did, but I think they have progressed in
a good direction. Rating: 85 |
