MIDNIGHT
- Let There Be Witchery
Metal Blade Records
A truly charismatic band seamlessly fusing two
distinct genres, their live performances are a testament to their musical
prowess. What sets them apart is their unique identity, avoiding imitation and
embodying metal in a way that stands alone. The interplay of distinctive riffs
and expert songwriting is elevated by vocals that harmonize effortlessly. With
an anticipation for a continuous stream of innovative albums, their recent tour
with Mayhem showcased a stellar performance, even if it didn't overshadow the
headliner.
The band's dynamism and top-notch riff-writing define
their latest studio release, a concise 34-minute triumph where every moment
leaves an indelible mark. The standout feature? Undoubtedly, the electrifying
guitar riffs that permeate every track, seamlessly combining catchiness with
uniqueness. The intentional dominance in guitar work reflects the band members'
ultra-creative prowess, even though the leads may pose a slight drawback.
Nevertheless, the overall production quality remains
commendable, contributing to a well-rounded album that leaves a lasting
impression. Having witnessed their live show, I'm thrilled about picking up
this album. Despite my unfamiliarity with their older work, consistent ratings
suggest a legacy of quality. Overcoming the challenge of drawing crowds, this
black/speed metal band has thrived, with their live performance authentically
resonating with the album. Their mastery of guitar riffs within a dual-genre
landscape makes them undeniably phenomenal!
