Many bands try to add a little something
to their music to give them an added touch or just another dynamic
to their music. Sear Bliss a black metal band with and old school
touch, adds a tuba and brass section to “Forsaken Symphony”
for that unique sound. They have also added more keys than their previous
efforts. This helps develop their music to be more full, and theatrical.
But at the same time, the brass section, seems a little over barring
and they drowns out the guitars. Horns add a very dramatic and evil
undertone to their songs; makes it majestic and mystical. One more
thing that I have to draw attention to is their songs, depending on
which one, seem drawn-out or repetitive, it’s not to overwhelming,
but it is noticeable enough to mention. These nine tracks and sixty-three
minutes of layered black metal reminds me of old …and Oceans
and old Dimmu Borgir. There wasn’t one stand out track on the
disc, but there was a bunch of decent tracks including “Last
Stand,” “My Journey to the Stars,” “The Vanishing,”
and “Eternal Battlefields.” Basically this is a band with
the privative black metal sound with adding invention and interesting
topics for their lyrics. It’s a good effort, but it’s
not quite there. Rating: 64 |
