MDD\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
Russian band DEVIANT SYNDROME can\u00b4t have been total beginners back when they formed in 2005. Melodic death metal is their game, and they obviously got popular with the demo \u201cPictures of Declared Existence\u201d. This album was first released in Russia, but now MDD has decided to put it out in Europe. <\/p>\n
I never get these short and ignorable intros. I know they have been popular I am not moved. I immediately note that INFLICTED DEVIATIONS is a tight lot who mixes guitar fueled heavy metal with touches and arrangements of black. The voice of guitarist George Shchelbanin is a mixed bag, from Old School to obnoxious vomits. But the music often speaks for itself. Songs like \u201cSeal of a Star Dweller\u201d, \u201cConsequence\u201d, \u201cLiberation\u201d and the highly melodic album closer \u201cDrowned in the Frozen Sun\u201d are five star material. Their hard side, like \u201cA Day to Fall\u201d is not as enjoyable as when they spice up their love for 80\u00b4s heavy metal with the best 5 percent of symphonic black metal. The guitar attack of George and Eugene Sibrisky is the highlight of the album, the atmospheric keyboards not far behind (but not as prominent). The riffs seem to have no end, and I believe they rate far above the Norwegian hordes and their seemingly endless high-pitched non-descript beginners riffs. The toucheds of power metal on offer here puts DEVIANT SYNDROME ahead of the pack, if not quite up there with CHILDREN OF BODUM. But bear in mind, this is only their debut. Perhaps the Finns do well to fear the Russian bear even in this day\u2026 <\/p>\n
