There is a selection of heavy riffs that I enjoyed quite a bit on this album. Their more aggressive and heavy style hit me like a blast from a tank. It’s probably due to the bottom heavy tuning of their guitars that give them an added deep tone. Very addicting for the avid fan of heavy music. The brutal, heavy breakdowns also add to their composition. Another element worth mentioning are the decent yet soulful solos. They aren’t super intense or overcomplicated, but they seem to be have much emotion. Melodic harmonies and choruses are good for the most part as well. Abrasive growls/screams are used as a mainstay in the songs but are mixed with a clean singing approach during choruses.
The heavy and melodic have a nice balance on “Breeding A Divinity.” The main riffs of the songs seem to be more on the heavy side, while the choruses have the more melodic side. Though it’s probably intentional, the choruses cool off the intensity of each song. I personally like the heavier side of the band and would enjoy this more if the choruses weren’t so calm compared to the body of the songs.
Nothing blew me away on “Breeding A Divinity,” but everything is pretty solid throughout the 9 songs and 34 minutes. You can check the band’s music video for “The White Pitch” on Youtube.com and may get more of a feel for this band. Fans of the more modern version of In Flames, Soilwork and Killswitch Engage will probably dive right into the Fightcast pit.
