ACID DEATH – Hall of
Mirrors
7hard Records
ACID DEATH is definitely one of the oldest
metal bands of Greece and we’re not just talking about an ordinary band but rather
about a true underground gem that has progressed and evolved a lot through the
years. They didn’t remain stagnant, but they kept expanding and experimenting
within the death metal genre.
So, “Hall of Mirrors”, which is by the way their
fourth full length album, finds them at their best. I’ve been following the
band many years, but still what I heard here really impressed me! “Hall of
Mirrors” contains songs that are the quintessence of what we call technical
death metal that is mixed with lots of thrash metal and has plenty of progressive
references. The guys have managed to find the golden balance between their
extreme self and the melodies and all this is enhanced by a solid and flawless
rhythm section and by impeccable intricate guitar solos. Add to all this the vocals
which do a stunning work elevating the end result and you have an album that
the fans of bands like DEATH, CORONER, ATHEIST and the likes will rave about.
The production is also excellent with a raw and organic sound and the artwork is
really beautiful and fitting. I shouldn’t forget to mention here the guest
appearances from members of TARDIVE DYSKINESIA, SUICIDAL ANGELS, ENEMY OF
REALITY and FLOATING WORLDS and the multimedia section that contains two
multi-camera live videos from when the band was supporting THE HAUNTED. What
more can I say? No fillers on “Hall of Mirrors” just top notch technical death
metal! I’m really psyched!
