Description/Reviews
The first two tracks, ‘Unnecessary Evil’ and ‘Fragile’, give the listener a pretty good idea of what extreme spectrums the album is going to cover. ‘Unnecessary Evil’ sounds like the bastard child of The Cure’s Disintegration and Anacrusis’ Screams and Whispers. There are the technical metal and symphonic elements that dominated Screams and Whispers but the tempo, atmosphere, tones and emotional angle all scream Disintegration. The second track, ‘Fragile’, rips the listener right back to the early 90s with one of Kenn’s piercing screams, a breakneck tempo and the kind of calculated riffing that defined Manic Impressions. That’s one of the great things about this album; each song is going to be a surprise. You never know if the next song will be a thrashy Anacrusis-inspired track such as ‘Await the Setting Sun’ or the New Model Army goes prog of ‘Submerged’ or the surprising emotive ambience of ‘A Little Light’.
