LOST
CONCEPTION - Paroxysm of Despair
Darknagar Records
Released in 2011, LOST CONCEPTION's debut album, "Paroxysm
of Despair," offers a straightforward and effective blend of progressive
and death metal. This Russian band manages to combine elements from both genres
without making the music sound jarring or forced, which can be a common pitfall
when mixing different metal styles. For a debut, it's a well-executed effort
that shows the band's clear musical direction.
"Paroxysm of Despair" largely focuses on technical
playing and structured songwriting. The album's strength lies in its ability to
integrate the melodic and often shifting patterns of progressive metal with the
aggressive, heavier sound of death metal. This means you'll hear moments of
intricate guitar work and varying song tempos alongside powerful, driving
riffs. It's a balance that helps keep the music engaging throughout.
If you're into metal that prioritizes technical
musicianship, features elements of progressive song structures, and still
delivers with heavy, aggressive riffs, then "Paroxysm of Despair" is
worth checking out. It's a solid first outing from LOST CONCEPTION,
demonstrating their ability to put together a competent and enjoyable album
that should appeal to fans of both progressive and death metal.
