"Олтар Утопії" demo 2017
ОБРІЙ - Олтар Утопії (2017)
Welcome the debut release by Uzhgorod-based Death/Doom followers – ОБРІЙ. Their line-up features members of DISPLEASE, OMNIVERSE, SKRUTA, SOULREST and THE SYMBIOZ. The 4-track demo starts with a death'n'rollish riff, which turns into a pretty slow marching-like groove pattern. The pace is quite calm in this song, almost meditative. It has been also spiced up with melodies reminiscent of some old SENTENCED and PARADISE LOST cuts. The second track continues the sluggish attack of riffs with a cool refrain of vocals about the fields of Cambodia. At the end of it we even have a chain of heavy metal-like guitar harmonies. Track number three starts with a massive but typical UNLEASHED riff supported by nailing double bass parts. Then from a sudden the whole song gets a galloping manner, which surely changes here and there just to inject a few soloing melodies and to dive into an errant atmosphere. Their fourth and last track continues the galloping, but with another kind of mood, somehow it reminded me KREATOR's "Outcast" era for some moments. This song has interesting riff structures, lots of great solos and twists included, thus became the most versatile in my opinion. The overall sound production is decent as well. You can listen to the entire material at ОБРІЙ's bandcamp profile. The burnt CD-R comes with a nice digipack garnish and can be ordered either from the band or their label.
h-yeah:
