Métal Intégral - Review / KAMLATH

Brrrrrrr

Approximate translation of the review

KAMLATH is escaped rigours of Siberia to propose a first album of Dark MetalGothic (the duet prefers speech of Siberian Metal) obviously rich in sorry and icy environments. Among the assets, one will note interventions with guitar solo ofMike WEAD( MEMENTO MORI, MERCYFUL FATE, CANDLEMASS,KING DIAMOND), the illustration of Seth Siro Anton (SEPTIC FLESH) and especially a certain reserve in the explanatory memorandum.

Explanation: as well per choice as by economy means (the production is not luxurious, without being ridiculous for as much), KAMLATH turns the back on excesses of the Rock and the Metal current Gothics. No grandiloquent choruses, not of synthetizers foils, not of ram recoveries. The song of Marco BENEVENTO(ofTHE FORESHADOWING) is serious and concise, like of course, but would gain with being more worked and reinforced. The guitars distil fronts dry, austere, which one would have liked more incisive.

the absence of emphase confers on a whole severe aspect, almost désincarné, hardly maltreated by very controlled incursions Black Metaland finally not very malicious. This made dry and direct can per moments to evoke the spirit specific to the first recordings of theSISTERS OF MERCY, when well even stylistic filiation is not clearly established.

the problem is that these welcome specificities end up smoothing the effectiveness of the album as a whole. By looking after the compositions and the sound,KAMLATH should without any doubt return to haunt us with even more effectiveness.
