Review
FEARS
is the new album and 5th overall from Italian
Sludge/Post-Metal masters – Tomydeepestego. If you haven’t heard
of the band before then where have you been for the last 13 years or
so. Tomydeepestgo are one of the best Instrumental Rock/Metal bands
to come from the Italian Hard Rock/Metal scene. The band play an
Alternative style of Sludge/Post-Metal. Combining the primal drive of
early-era Pelican and the ethereal storytelling of Russian Circles
and still sounding like their own band.
FEARS
is perhaps their heaviest sounding album to date with the band
pushing themselves further to the limit with highly anthemic and
progressive sounding songs that sees the band adding a more
psychedelic groove to their overall sound. The album is quite compact
and allows Tomydeepestego to get straight to the point in playing
Sludge/Post-Metal with a highly aggressive edge. Most of the songs
last between 4 to 5 minutes each but that’s more than enough time
for the band to play a wide range of different cinematic
post-rock/post-metal sounds.
The
album could have been on longer but the album is still action packed
and you get your monies worth for around 30 minutes of intense
riffage. The instrumental work is excellent and the band adapt a wide
range of different sounds and emotions especially on songs such as:
Empress, Many Days March Away, You Only Die Once and The Big Bad Red
Wolf.
FEARS
is an album that does have a gloomy outlook on life especially when
the darker and dramatic musical passages appear. However, the album
also has quite a few uplifting sounds as well spliced throughout the
album.
Tomydeepestego
have released another deeply satisfying album that should not only
appeal to their established fan-base but will also impress the more
casual listener and maybe allow the band to expand their fan-base
even further.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
