Description/Reviews:
With a sound that is heavily influenced by Nevermore and heavier progressive metal, Archillusion at no point sound like a clone of any other band. That being said, you can hear their influences in the vocals, and the fast and furious guitar riffs.
After the intro track, Descension we get the song Ashes of Apathy. Featuring heavy technical riffs, a melodic section, and a few death growls thrown into the mix, Archillusion throws everything into the mix on the first song. A very heavy yet melodic Lost My Way is next, featuring vocals that remind me of Harry Conklin of Jag Panzer, especially the Mechanized Warfare era. This song features a very cool slower melodic section, where bassist Chris Meller can be heard over the drums, as the guitars play in the background. A stand out track,at nearly seven minutes and twenty five seconds is The Lost Worlds, reminiscent of Nevermore's Dreaming Neon Black era, with multiple layers and melodic yet technical guitar riffs from guitarist and principal songwriter Todd Scow. The song picks up pace, a little more than halfway through, and like the songs before it, it features all the same elements, great musicianship and vocals.
