INDECADENCE 'Ep's'

Year: Released 26 October 2013  by GS Production

The music world now is so rich and varied and it is very difficult problem to orient in this subject.For example, not always we able to track the emergence of some new faces in all ways of this  boundless space. So, young and unknown for many (except of their "the circles") talents have to seriosly to fight for success in his career. But the information era nobody limits in creativity and any means of expression, so all results in a well-known principle - " each in his own way ".

Unpretentious title in minimalistical cover makes me to think that InDecadence not very meticulously care about their image in the heavy scene. The name of one of them Album "Ep's" puzzled and so appeared the question: what actually may be hidden under such laconic title? But the words, that are laid out neatly on the cover in a strict and subtle manner gave me a degree of hope that this work can meet my quivering expectations to hear from musicians of the InDecadence something very significant, I even don't talk about smth grandiose. 

Unfortunately the minimum that i could to find in the global web are limmiting with extremely scarce information. So i alredy exactly can say that this team was born in Spain and works for 12 years in genre melodic doom / death metal - i can't say about this music with indifference and without soul, because , I note, my the soul particularly susceptible for this subject. Because of this fact I am as a listener had formed my own subjective vision of this subject on the basis of my personal preferences, and my own personal experience. 

I must say the content is not far from the cover - everything are so predictably, no one twist or turn, I do not even no one flaw...I can not remember nothing special, although the intro a little had surprised me with chaotic lead-in that sounds very strange here, if we take into attention the further development of the structure of the album. Echoes of the earthly world gradually enact with melodious synth chords of "The Lost". And then headlong rushes the powerful wave of guitar's sound, coupled with abundant and raging parties with the same "gothic" synthesizer, which is only slightly knuckle under parties of the rhythm- and solo guitars. But overall this creates a very heavy base for good background that highlights the emotions, atmosphere of the album despite the tendency to express feelings in a bit aggressive way, that were embedded by musicians into the sense of this creature. Here it is - "The Spanish sadness"! By itself, the music strikes in ears with the pleasant stream of melodic-soulful harmonies and this luxuriant of sounds well distracts from the unhealthy applying of keyboard's passages in all ways and motives.

A lot of gothic elements affects with not very fruitfully for genre death / doom because disappears severity, laid to the idea of this music. Here it is necessary the feeling of measure to create a anguished atmosphere and at the same time to save extremal texture charactering for the death / doom. In this case we can hear something remotely reminiscent the gothic metal with strongly prepotency of the keyboard's basis, and particularly it is feeling their clear dominance in this of sound's mess. But it is not without advantages. On this album InDecadence with the proud can show the excellent melodic line, where progressive death metal guitars gain momentum and emphatic growl of vocalist that not badly are combining with this polyphony and epic of doom metal are present here in some extent. This release didn't give me any special impressions: this is the category of works that sometimes you want to listen to when you have some particular mood or occasion. This is for the admirer, so to speak)
