Band: Divinity Canadian progressive metal band Divinity released last month their long awaited second album called Divinity via Candlelight Records. For those who never heard of the band (like me), the band is a combination of influences like progressive, trash and death metal. To give you a better idea, you can compare them with bands like Aborted or Dark Tranquility. Now we all know that it’s very difficult to do something different, something that hasn’t been done already. That also counts for this band, however they succeeded in making every song feel unique and different. Containing fascinating riffs, face melting solos, crushing riffs, different melodies, and so on. In the end there is so much going on every track that the whole picture sounds chaotic and weird due to the combination of so many influences and sounds, but in some kind of strange metal jazz way it works. If you are a musician to, you’ll know what I mean. And that’s maybe the one downer for this record, it’s so chaotic due to so much going on at the same time, that a lot of people will walk away due to it’s complicity, where only the few who understand music will know the big picture. 93/100 Jeroen. |
