Overgrowing
Human Void is the second album of the band CIBORIUM
from Portugal. They play death metal with melodic elements and
sound a little like Dan Swanö-era Edge of Sanity. The album
contains 10 songs and is about 40 minutes long. The opener Shadowalk
surely is the best song on this CD as it contains a perfect mixture
of clean vocals and melodies with raw death parts. Another very
good song is Skyshaper, even though it sounds quite the
same. The guitar work is quite good, too, and the vocal work always
fits the music, while some drum parts tend to get on my nerves.
(I guess that’s a matter of taste) However, I think that
towards the end of this album the songs get weaker and sound too
much alike, as if the band did not have enough good song material
left. That’s a pity, because otherwise the (too short, anyway)
album could have been quite a blast! Anyway, I’m pretty
sure we’ll hear more from them in the future, as they are
on the right way.
