KRYSTHLA – A War of Souls and Desires

KRYSTHLA
is a U.K. based newcoming band that released its debut album a few months ago.
They may be new and “A War of Souls and Desires” may be their debut work, but
the guys aren’t new to the scene since they were previously involved in the
death metal band GUTWORM and the thrash metal band DEADEYE. So as you can
understand the direction KRYSTHLA is following is extreme metal and more
particularly it’s a death metal sub-genre enriched with other elements.
The
most prominent of these elements are the math core or scream core touches, some
grooves and a great deal of MESHUGGAH. This all means that “A War of Souls and
Desires” is a very heavy album delivered by superb musicians with the utmost
accuracy and precision, but for me personally the end result sounded flat and
monotonous. I loved the rhythm section and I have to say the drummer does a
killer job, but the overall impression it gave me was as if I was listening to
one song throughout. It’s one dimensional and sounds pretty repetitive to my
ears and the fact that I don’t like MESHUGGAH at all tops it off! I know there
is a market out there for this sound and I’m sure plenty of metal heads will
like it, but personally I’ll pass!
