“Prey,” comes in heavy with a terrifying female vocal at the beginning. It then moves into the bass and guitars dredging through, with the male vocals taking centre stage. Leading the charge for outrage and roaring power. “Salvation,” gallops and flips through, taking one bite and then another, before shifting through tones and raging into a mesh. “The Trials of Hercules,” shift and shape things properly, taking a turn for one moment and then the next. Allowing the listener the ability to hear the story unfold in real time.
“The Succubus and The Crucible of Sins,” is an epic deconstruction of everything within metal. An epic intro, a snarling vocal lead, and a buoyant guitar part that twists and turns. “Sanctus Equitus Mortis,” twists and turns with an interesting shifting complection, ensuring the listener is hooked on the basic melodies being twisted and turned out for their viewing pleasure.
The record is out on 4th May.
