Description/Reviews
... a big change in delivery which forsakes the double bass, high tenor, and symphonic approach of its predecessor in favor of a more aggressive, complex, and hard-nosed approach with a whole lot of roaring from new vocalist Racco.
While Etherna hinted around at this sound very slightly in 2008, Forgotten Beholder is a grimmer, punishing beast that pushes syncopation, more varied riffing, and Racco’s throaty vibrato to the fore. Unfortunately, I find this approach to be less memorable and less gripping, with a couple of noticeable exceptions. “Death”, for example, is a clear standout. A commanding chorus, rapid-paced riffs, driving drumwork, and some great screams make for a song that I’ll not soon forget, and one that’s made my go-to playlist for the year of 2014.
