Agreed. I'm really excited for Wintersun's "Time II" next month, but I think Jari has quite the bar to overcome. Hopefully, at worst, I'll end up liking both the EP and album equally.
That ending breakdown in Death Impress also reminds me "jiluka - venom" ending breakdown, where they also mixed huge breakdown with choir. Sounds amazing
they're too different to compare directly, infant's albums, especially EGG, transports you to a godless, hellish and hopeless world, this EP does its own thing
Would love to see a reaction to Witch Vomit’s new album Funeral Sanctum! I think you’d enjoy the guitar-work and songwriting, as well as the atmosphere.
It's interesting to me that you consider the Vivaldi moments to be "very upbeat," considering Vivaldi's "Winter" movement was written in the key of F minor. Then again, perhaps you meant something else when you said upbeat. Personally, I thought they did a great job of incorporating Vivaldi's melodies.
I think Iscariot's Servants to a lesser god has solo + breakdown simultaneously but its not quite as impactful as it is here. Worth a check though still
Fully agree with that section in Winter being weird and out of place, did not work for me at all. The rest of the song was great but that bit really throws me. Still, that's literally my only gripe with the whole EP, everything else is gold. It will be interesting to see the individual bands try to top this collab.
If we only get 4 of these level of songs a year or every two years... infinitely worth it. Edit: Also I, The Devourer is easily my favorite song from the EP still, but hot damn both of the new songs give The Poetic Edda a run for its money... and it wasn't far below I, the Devourer.
Synestia and Disembodied Tyrant literally took what is arguably the cheesiest genre of metal in symphonic deathcore and crafted an absolute fucking masterpiece. The way they work in Vivaldi’s music while the other instruments build off of it before going into more traditional deathcore sections shows a real understanding and appreciation for classical music, and the metal instrumentation (the guitar playing especially) is absolutely world class technical while also played with feeling
@@SeenFeen probably but I also don‘t listen to deathcore. The only drummers I can think of now are the dude from infant annhiliator and Alex from Despiser Icon
