FRAGMENTS OF UNBECOMING - Sterling Black Icon / Chapter III - Black But Shining


This is the second album of the band from Germany, and it continues the same music style from where the previous one stopped. The band is playing Melodic Death Metal, much closer to the 90's style, a bit more aggressive than today, a bit more fast, yet still melodic, catchy, and with enough fresh ideas. The addition of a new vocalist, left the two guitarist focused on their performing duties. The majority of the songs are well written, with very good melodies, nice hooks and catchy lines, brutal vocals, and groovy enough to make you bang your head along with the rhythm. An album for all fans of the Swedish scene, or Death Metal in general.

9/10
