After some line-up changes HECATE ENTHRONED finally released Kings Of Chaos. Generally the changes don't influence the music so much, the sound is still typical HECATE ENTHRONED - melodic - Black metal: fast, melodical songs, of course supported by a lot of slow parts from their new keyboarder Daz, who replaces Michael in a dignified way. In contrast to their old singer Jon the new vocalist Dean has a deeper voice, so this is their first album of which I can definitely say it doesn't sound like a copy of Cradle Of Filth, but it doesn't change anything on the atmosphere HECATE ENTHRONED bring with this new album. Somehow it seems as if they want to sound like they are playing in a big hall, because there are a lot of echoes and effects which give this image. Especially on their song Malignant Entity which starts with some reverberating bassdrum beats you have the feeling of this special atmosphere. People who like short, refined songs will find what they want, because with 11 songs just Repent exceeds a playing time of 5 minutes, the length of the other songs can usually be found around the standard of 3 minutes. Kings Of Chaos is another well done release of the English guys and I definitely don't hesitate giving them 8,5 points.
