Spheron/Ecstasy Of God/Apostasy Records/2013 CD Review


  Spheron  are  a  band  from  Germany  that  plays  a  very  technical  form  of  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Ecstasy  Of  God"  which  was  released  by  Apostasy  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  and  technical  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  technical  death  metal  riffs  that  are  very  heavy and  brutal  sounding  with  some  melody  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times  as  well  as  some  soft  and  clean  playing,  while t he  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  and  technical  sounding  death  metal  guitar solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  which  are  only  used  briefly  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  add  some  progressive  elements  to  the  music.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  growls  to  high  pitched  screams  as  well  as  a  brief  spoken  word  part,  while  the  lyrics  cover  life,  death,  mankind,  religion  and  society,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Spheron  are  a  very  great  sounding  technical  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of t his  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out t his  album..  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "A  Means  To  An  End"  "Saturnian  Satellites"  "Pulse  Of  Instinct"  and  "From  Glint  To  Crackling".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
