MOLDER
- Engrossed In Decay
Cianeto Discos
Not a bad follow-up, just somewhat of an average release. But it's good live Molder that totally packs a punch. Definitely death/thrash a lot of their guitar riffs are pretty well done out. And original! The tempos for the songs vary accordingly. The vocals are pretty unique, they sound a little bit like on Exhumed's 'Death Revenge'. The band might call me out on that but there is a resemblance. The music quality is average and the tone of the guitars are mediocre. I'm sure they'll advance with each succeeding release. They certainly have since their older material. They're touring with good bands at least (Autopsy, Cardiac Arrest and Bones).
The album is about 45 minutes but is tight the whole
way through. I just dislike the quality
of the production. But they'll get
better. I'm sure of it! They have a unique songwriting capacity and
the guitars go well with the music. The
thrash elements go with the guitar/vocals and the death metal is a tinge of
that quality. They're a unique style
band which I foresee getting better as they progress. I'm glad I picked this up and the live sound
is superb. They played an outstanding
set at Reggie's in Chicago 10/29/22. It
made me appreciate their music much more than what's simply on the studio
album. I bought the CD!
There are some blast beats that go along with the
riffs but not a whole lot. The vocals
augment the death metal genre's sound and the riffs are a good blend of
death/thrash. It's pretty unique in that
respect. I don't know a lot of bands
that fit the genres of death/thrash. But
it is unique and creative. These guys
know how to kick ass! Good musicianship
as well! I can't wait to hear more newer
stuff from them in the years that follow this.
And that they have a long life in them if they stay on this path. Seeing them live I thought "hmm, sounds
better than what's on the album release."
It sure did!
I encourage metal fans to check out Molder's latest,
not their previous. And see how you like
it. It's not at all generic. I think the sound quality just could've been
a lot better a lot worse! But hey, this
is a newer band, so cut them some slack!
They're going to get more mature as they progress. They're touring with legitimate bands for a
reason! They have enormous
potential. And this LP is an example of
their maturing. It's available on streaming but show the band some support and
buy the CD. You won't be
disappointed! This band puts on one
helluv a show, check them out if you can!
