ENEMY OF THE SUN - Shadows


I listen to this kind of music for over two decades now, and this means that I have heard enough albums from many bands. Often enough, even today, we come across something that stands out of the ordinary, no matter if it's good or bad. Bands that dare to make things their own way, to invent, to blend sounds, to experiment. This is such a band, although Waldemar Sorychta is no stranger to any Metal fan. The band is playing a music that is quite hard to define. You want brutality? You got it. Melodies? Here we are. Catchy songs? We got them also. Screaming vocals too. Clean vocals? Yes. The list goes far, and the answer is always yes. The songs are, the least to say, interesting, with enough surprises. There are weak points also but not so many to destroy the whole result. One of the things noticed here, is the vocal capabilities of Jules Naveri and the drumming skills of Daniel Zeman, both doing an excellent work. Not being able to tag the music, it's really hard to recommend it to any particular genre fan. But keep in mind that the band combines so many elements that their sound is a category of it's own. So it's better to listen to it, and then decide if it's a love or a hate. to
9/10
