It
seems that there in Australia they start to build a new heavy metal scene based
on the traditional metal teachings. ENVENOMED are a band that released in 2014
their debut album entitled “Evil Unseen” as an independent release. It seems
that the album earned some popularity and also its quality made Punishment 18
Records make a deal with these guys and re – release it. So, let me tell you my
own impressions after listening to this album.
THE COVER: Do
you like science fiction movies? Especially the ones that had to do with alien
abductions and experimentations on human beings? Well, that is the impression
that made on me the cover of ENVENOMED’s album. It shows a human being tied
upon a laboratory table and many robotic machines examining him or trying to
inject something into him. It also seems that the human on the table screams in
agony.
MUSICAL STYLE: ENVENOMED,
with their debut album, show us a musical identity that combines the
traditional metal teachings along with strong modern metal elements without
though losing their classic metal orientations. The band characterizes its
sound as melodic thrash metal which actually is a quite accurate description
since they combine thrash metal riffs and a rhythm section with melodic lines
that have a strong traditional heavy/power metal feeling. I would also add that
there are moments that ENVENOMED flirt with the Swedish melodic death metal
sound without though having harsh vocals.
CONCLUSION: “Evil
Unseen” is an album made by a band that has a musical vision and knows exactly
how to make this vision functional. It is an album that has variety, good ideas
and an obvious creative enthusiasm. I think that people who are into modern
melodic thrash metal have to check this out.
