Anacrusis-Manic Impressions

“Paint A Picture,” starts the clarion call, with the stop start nature of its riffs, it is sure to embed itself deep within the listener’s mind. As the vocals come snarling in, that is an image that is just confirmed further.

“I Love The World,” is a bit of a rager, shifting through, and bringing together some huge melodies and big choruses for a good time.

“Something Real,” has the real riff charge nailed down completely. It twists through the sound sphere and then unleashes hell.

“Dream Again,” swaggers through the bend, producing something that is both surreal and quite chilling.

“Explained Away,” takes a nice little ride through the darkening slumbers, producing a shifting texture and tapestry.

“Still Black,” truly unleashes the chaos. Bringing to fore some absolute corkers in the riffage department and just generally letting loose.

“What You Became,” filters into being. It has the confidence of a song that knows just what it is and what it is about. Something that is quite fitting given it’s name.

“Our Reunion,” gets darker and more sinister as the song progresses. The temperature ventures through the procedures and then expands completely.

“Idle Hours,” has a great bass intro that really sets the tone for what comes next. That being a complete clangor of melodies and tones.

“Far Too Long,” the final song on the album is a monster. Stretching through time and space and unleashing hell.

The Demos show the process of creating such a great record, and sure to be loved by fans of the band.

The album is out on 15th November via Metal Blade Records.
