Massacre\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
KAMBRIUM hails from Helmstedt in Germany, and debuts with this melodic death metal album. They go for everything from almost pop death metal, as in \u201cDewfall\u201d to the melancholic \u201cHollow Heart\u201d. Inbetwixt there is a lot of death and IRON MAIDEN-like guitar riffs. The majority of the songs are written by keyboardist Jan Hein, which you can tell quite soon. Grooves, headbanging, melancholy, how could they go wrong?<\/p>\n
The opening intro shows who\u00b4s done most of the material. It\u00b4s a grand piece of almost orchestrated grandeur, in spite of being short. The polka meets IRON MAIDEN rifferama of \u201cAmong the Lost\u201d opens for a great heavy metal song, only the flat and dry growl of bassist Martin Simon puts the band in another direction. The direction is somewhat confusing at times, but the output is not bad at all, especially for a bunch of debutants. They are careful to mix in different paces and to add that precious keyboard pattern here and there, at times all over. \u201cThanatos\u201d is the next outstanding moment, the opening was last heard in a BON JOVI hit, and the catchy keyboard work in one of the many Finnish bands of today, while the refrain was steeped in melodic heavy metal. Why stick to one or two genres only? The trio of the acoustically opened \u201cHiding in Sorrow\u201d, the catchy but poorly sung \u201cThe Eye of Horus\u201d (Heard that line in a MAIDEN song\u2026right), and the almost pop refrain blessed \u201cDewfall\u201d is the final conviction. The generous mixing of genres and the musical abilities, or at least sense of melody and beast, makes this a great debut from a promising band. <\/p>\n
