Time has come to review a demo album and DECEMBER FLOWER came across my path so I gave them a listen and discovered a very promising metal act. The melodic death metal style they promote is one not on my favorite, but I must admit these guys managed to keep my attention and I was more than happily surprised upon hearing Moloch.
Fall Of Man starts off with great energy and a rhythm that keeps you alert. The lead guitar just mesmerizes ones hearing and it's pretty hard not to go with the flow and headbang your way in the safety of your abode.
Haunted By Horror is the second one on the Moloch play list and for some reason it brings back in mind In Flames. All the instruments seem to fit together very well and the outcome of this combination is just great. I dare say this is the best track of the album.
As minutes pass we come across Utopia and Moloch both as fast and one the same style as the others before. One can find the same determination to spreading melodic death metal into the world.
Despise Your Life begins in force, having the same energy as the whole material. The style is the same, uncompromising and force featured.
The last track on this demo album, A New Day's Dawn, is an instrumental one. In its slow but beautiful mood makes one calming down from all the adrenaline produced while listening to the tracks before. It's nothing you've expected Moloch to end with, but it's a great work.
I must say that this album sounds really good; the production was done as it ought to have been and I truly believe that if these guys keep it on the same track they will make it through. This was the best surprise of the week and personally I know I will definitely check out DECEMBER FLOWER from now on.
