Album Description
Available in:
"The Sound of Steel" is the fifth full length studio album by American thrash metal band Exmortus. It was released on 8th June 2018 through Prosthetic Records.
User Album Review
From the bloody battlegrounds, stained by the fogs of war and the stench of battle, and forged by the fires of the true metal anvil, emerged in 2002 a group of warriors who pay homage to giants such as Beethoven, Bach and the entire concept of blood-sworn, epic and majestic heavy metal by playing…technical thrash/death?
As weird as it may seem, Exmortus’ weapon of choice of being a technical thrash/death band that relies on neoclassical shredding and well-crafted instrumentals works really well, and the Californians have been shocking the masses since their great debut ‘In Hatred’s Flame’ (2008). With ‘The Sound of Steel’, they consolidate that style even more and manage to provide us with some kick-ass moments in its +40 minute length.
While the testosterone runs high throughout the whole record, more prolific and technical tracks like “To the Ends of the Earth” and a couple of instrumentals in “A Minor Instrumental” and “Tempest” intertwine with the brute force to show even more what these guys’ influences are; “Tempest”, for that matter, is basically a metal rendition of Beethoven’s “Piano Sonata No. 17”.
With some decent songwriting and bursting with technicality, Exmortus once again have succeeded on making quality metal, despite the constant shredding and the eventual exaggerated display of virtuosity slowing down the dynamic a little bit. The songs are so fun, though, that even two instrumental bits could be inserted easily without making the album lose quality, and the overdose of neoclassical instrumental is elegantly shadowed by the insane amounts of metal here; highly recommended to those who enjoy a thrash/death metal with a twist.
