Aggressiveness is one of the most important emotions concerning BEFORE THE FALL, but for heaven’s sake not the only one on Antibody. In the foreground, bullets like Fucked Up World hit your auditory canals in merciless manner through hefty chords, impressing vocals and captivating rhythms. The modern, but not too cold sound and a spoken sample conjure up an apocalyptic mood. It gets really interesting with the next eerie track Burden Of The Past including a musical clock’s melody and dark vocals reminding me of Moonspell in convenient style. The following piece Destroy explains itself, whereby the band adds a touch of darkness anew. On Your Knees will appeal to all fans of Fear Factory or Crowbar; in the second part, a hymnal approach and long instrumental parts enrich the scenery. Filigree guitar tones emboss the tune Crucified Perdition and the concluding shred-rhythm gets all the more power. Underneath the tough exterior, I can find some details out of the way, which attach a multidimensional effect to Antibody. Direct hitters like Go To Hell can be found, but the raging attitude gets loosened by changes of mood every now and then. Calm guitar sounds in course of Never Been Born smooth the way for a machine-like rhythm, ere Warcry invites us all to sing or mosh along. The album ends with the piano melody Antibody in very harmonious and contained mode.
In the end, I get the impression of a really energetic work, which does not rush in only brutally and therefore sprays a breeze of distinctiveness.
