MORBID ANGEL
- Kingdom's Disdained
Silver
Lining Music
This
is kind of a rehash to "Gateways To Annihilation" which was an
outstanding album to say the least. This
one, I thought though was a little bit less of a great album than that because
the riffs on the guitar were not as catchy nor do they either compare to old MORBID
ANGEL circa David Vincent era such as "Alters of Madness" or
"Covenant." That was when MORBID
ANGEL I think was at the top of their game when it comes to death metal
releases and fresh music that's totally underground and fresh riffs. On "Kingdom's Disdained" you don't
get that vibe of the old band just "Gateways..."
I
cannot say that every track was a tragedy in death metal or MORBID ANGEL for
that matter, I just think that they've come back from a horrific previous
release to a 50-60% stronger release but still not up to my standards when it
comes to MORBID ANGEL. I think that they
really are a thing of the past for me because when I first got this and
listened to it I said to myself "what the heck?!" But after repeated listens to, I've come to
like it a little more and more. But it
still is in no way a comparison to the old days with the old lineup.
My
thinking is that they should just drop the leads altogether I think that Trey
just doesn't have it anymore, nothing like as good as on "Covenant",
but still at least he's not overdoing it in that aspect. Production made the older albums seem more
raw and this one seems like it's a little bit more together in terms of mixing. I'm usually pretty fussy when it comes to how
an album will sound and how much energy the production and mixing will go. But it's solid on that end.
I
like a lot of the riffs on here I thought they were well composed just not as
original or catchy as the old MORBID ANGEL, but I don't think anything would
compare to the late 80's early 90's era.
They seemed to have it together with the guitar riffs that were just
immaculate. This one is good sounding
just not as catchy. I failed to go
through the songs/lyrics because I wanted to report on how I thought about the
riff writing and overall sound to the recording.
If
you've not gotten this already, check it out on Spotify you'll find the whole
album on there. But do the band a favor
and purchase the album because it benefits the bands and record stores in
general. It's definitely a quality type
of album, but it just cannot reach my standards to as I've been saying about
the MORBID ANGEL of the old era. They're
making better music, and hopefully they'll stay around a while longer so that
we can still enjoy some quality death metal.
