Combining thrash and a black/death metal
sound together has been becoming more popular within the last year
or so. Mortuary Oath uses this technique, and it seems that they are
almost at where they need to be. There just seems that something is
missing from their music. They don't have the rich sound of a Witchery
type band. Don't get me wrong, there are some great riffs on this
CD, but some of the songs sound alike, maybe a little to alike. I'm
not positive, but I think there is a drum machine used on this CD,
it might give them more of a rich sound if they can find a drummer
to go with their music. The ten tracks on this CD send you off to
a mystic place for nearly fifty minutes. The first two tracks "The
Forest" and "Dorian's Portrait"are pretty good songs.
Pretty much all of the songs have that catchy King Diamond/Mercyful
Fate type riffing style. The last track is a cover of "Eleanor
Rigby," and it is a great cover. If your into any of the aforementioned
bands you may want to take a listen to a track or two from their CD
"Whispers From Her Grave." You may encounter another band
that you might like. Rating: 75 |
