Massacre\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
UK newcomers DAMNATION ANGELS show more than the term \u201cnewcomer\u201d hints at. The lineup of main man, guitarist, orchestrator and backing vocalist William Graney (CRADLE OF FILTH orchestrator), vocalist Per Fredrik Asly (PELLE K for short as an artist), drummer John Graney, bassist Steven Averill and pianist Dawn Trigg have been around since 2006, and debuted with their first EP \u201cShadow Symphony\u201d in 2009. The critics were nice and a lot of touring followed. The band then felt ready for their debut. This album was released in Japan in 2012 and the video for \u201cPride (The Warrior\u00b4s Way) has been viewed a lot on YouTube. What could stop them now?<\/p>\n
Maybe not a lot. The first half of the album is is very ok for \u201cbeginners\u201d, but it is the last part that foretells of things to come. \u201cPt 2 \u2013 Someone Else\u201d is like the band revving up, while \u201cPt 3 \u2013 Bringer of Light\u201d is a progressive revelation. Heavy yet progressive, the voice of Pelle K seems indefatigable and there is a lot of details adding up to a masterful whole. The same goes for the much viewed \u201cPride (The Warriors Way)\u201d. Much of the album has ingredients of a cinema score, but here it is in full bloom. The difference is mind-blowing as the entire score falls in place. I think this lot has their best days ahead of them,
\nbut this album is well worth getting as it displays their formative days in full. <\/p>\n
