A few seconds
of ingenious sprouting opening track My Silence are enough
to light my fire of enthusiasm concerning UNDIVINE’s
music!
These four guys let off steam in intersection of Black and Death
Metal and unite elegant melody arcs, dark vocal intensity and
hymnal elements to a deadly cocktail enwrapped in Nordic furiousness.
Naglfar, Unanimated or Necrophobic can be named as indication
for musical and atmospheric presentation.
It needs a few turns to get captured by UNDIVINE totally,
because the one or other melody is hidden in very dense sound.
Egregious lead guitars and dark vocals dominate …And
The World Was War in which the band throttles speed adeptly.
UNDIVINE do not act all too hectic and rely on their ability
of composing, combining catchiness and partly hypnotic vocal lines
with amazing guitar sprints. One highlight waits on fifth place
entitled Cold Dead Heart, which could develop as band hymn
in the future. Multilayer guitar towers and stomping drums will
elate every Metal fan for sure. Surprising breaks and hardly noticeable
changes in measure care for well dosed alternation, but do not
destroy the dynamics of suspense. The borne beginning of following
track A Vision Undivine is suited for a relaxed breather,
but the calm before the storm does not last long! Intense vocal
force and a meticulous elaborated song build-up create another
song pearl. A Deceitful Calm is concluded by enormous
bleak track Catholic creating a conjuring and sinister
mood hardly to compare and describe.
UNDIVINE downright celebrate their eight musical legerdemains
and deliver short 40 minutes of pure quality in very good sound
vesture. They almost appear in divine manner like their similar
straightened examples mentioned above and they definitely walk
on the accurate path!
