LOWER HELL play quite traditional Metalcore, perfectly performed concerning technical aspects, partly very fast paced. A lot of energy and joy in playing is spread, but is this enough these days to win over a handful of metalheads with music lacking of own ideas and innovation?

I like this album called Hellevator, because LOWER HELL do not only cudgel without mercy. They integrate some borne or throttled parts to loosen up the album. Despite this tactics, I am not enthused, because the vocals are adopted too one-dimensional. On the other hand, many felicitous guitar solos and ear candy refrains like the one in the song The Requiem show up as brownie points. The quite unloading calm elements, which are mingled into the track Aftershow Party In A Casket can convince me. The mixture gets very cool, if the musicians act in easy-going manner with a slight Rock’n’Roll attitude (Nothing Personal, Just Business). In this case I do not really appreciate the half-baked clear vocals and the sudden ending.
Afterwards, the ballad-like instrumental tune The Shores Of Babylon offers time to relax and the following fast paced Tonight I’m Coming Home gets a more penetrating effect. I am surprised by the calm, augmenting title track, which offers some strings to form an unexpected breather. In contrast, the partly dissonant and playful composition called This Is Vengeance shows up with jazzy influences.
It happens a lot on Hellevator, the band risks a few experiments, but the great refrains are missing (with some exceptions) to enthuse completely.

LOWER HELL deliver a good release and do not forget about short breathers despite all aggressive parts and avoid boredom because of this style. In short: I do not raise my fists to the sky in enthusiasm, but the band tries to alternate felicitously. The clear vocals and the vocal lines can be done better next time.
