With a reputation like Cranium Crusher, I wasn’t anticipating schmaltzy ballads—oh no! They’re, actually, an Austrian Demise Steel five-piece who ran from 1991 till they cut up in 2000 after freeing 3 demos and two full-length albums. They returned with a unmarried in 2018 and an EP in 2020 referred to as Messiah, which is the primary a part of a trilogy of EPs, with this being the second one. The 3rd installment, Abyss, is about to be launched at an unknown date. The whole identify of the trilogy is if truth be told From Messiah into The Nil until the Abyss.
I used to be anticipating a full-on loss of life steel onslaught for the outlet identify observe, but it surely’s very melodic—till Andreas Ibitz opens his gob, and that’s the place the DM is available in. The similar is going for Red, with some vigorous solidarity guitars and a punchy rhythm phase sooner than they step at the gasoline, and we get a just right outdated pummeling. Then, some actual technical stuff begins in The Blade sooner than it settles down into an uncongenial, creepy groove with Christian Bukovac appearing his chops. Then it simply flies off with Wolfgang Rathgeb hammering away at his package. Prelude To Abyss will get even creepier with some shimmering guitars and a dismal bassline. They groove in this for a little sooner than the double kick is available in, and we get any other positive solidarity line from the guitars. Then Ibitz will get nasty with a special facet to his voice. If you need one thing to scare the children with, then play them this!
Oh sure, some positive loss of life steel that contains the old-fashioned, some technical stuff, and a few new stuff too, making it sound as recent as a daisy. I haven’t heard the primary installment, however I will be able to quickly, and I’m truly to listen to what the 3rd phase can be like. I’m hooked!
