User Album Review
GOD offers up symphonic death metal that possesses both bite and beauty, giving the album a very contrasting approach with blast beats and crunchy riffs overlaid with lush symphonic soundscapes. The sound works incredibly well together. The songs are a fascinating blend of heaviness and symphonic elements that totally engage the listener. The guitar work is very melodic at times, almost having a power metal sort of feel to their sound during the solos with the riffs having heavier distortion for that extra beef that death metal songs have. The symphonic arrangements are incredibly well done and mesh with the death metal in a way that accentuates the style rather than try to compete with or overshadow it.
It's one of the most interesting listens I've had in a while and the freshest sound I've heard in a genre that really doesn't do much with pushing the envelope on ingenuity and creativity.
