Review: CD

Antares Predator are a rather young project with members that are / were involved with, for example, Scariot, Keep Of Kalessin and Absentia Lunae. A few years ago, they debuted with a (promotional) mini-album, called Banquet Of Ashes (The Oath, 2007), and this album is their first studio full length.
Twilight Of The Apocalypse, lasting for forty five minutes, is a monumental, gargantuan epic, filled with power and aggression, breathing the most sulphuric evilness, spawned with acid and venom. The whole sounds somewhat Post-blackish, not of the Satyricon-alike kind, but slightly industrialised (production + sound) (in a modest way more comparable to Zyklon etc). The tempo is mainly fast, including some blasting parts, and a few times the band, luckily, throttles down a little (Sacrament amongst others). This Armageddon soundtrack is filled with aggression, based on thrashy and technical riffs, with the most brutal approach, and the compositions balance on a progressive edge.
Twilight… isn’t the most renewing, nor the strongest album in its genre. However, the quality of the individual tracks is above the average nowadays, making this album worth listening to!

84/100
