Trials - In The Shadow Of Swords
|
In The Shadow Of Swords is some excellent thrash with strong groove. Now, I don't listen to a ton of thrash but it's albums like this that make me really think I should. This album is very well written, strongly performed, professionally produced, and of course, ass kicking. Wrapped into the grooving thrash base is plenty of melodic variety and some sweet hints of death metal on a few tracks. All of these elements are tightly bound, though, and create a very solid sound.
Rarely do you hear such passion poured into a record. Trials plays music that is strong and powerful, driving forward with everything they have, but whether you're looking to rage or looking for love, these songs run the gamut of vital emotions. Never staying in one place too long, each experience feeds into the next and leads you back around to driving, groove-laden metal.

Aosoth - IV: An Arrow In Heart
|
When it comes to making metal that conjures feelings of being perched on a cliff, gesticulating to control storms and Dothraki hordes and the like, titty-glittered Herman Li-like melodiousness is, mercifully, not the only kind of thing that can be made use of. Sometimes dissonance--sweet, sweet, sour dissonance--can do the trick nicely.
Aosoth prove that's the case on this, even though IV never feels so cheap (and badass) as to suggest that bringing listeners to that cliff perch was ever the goal. If cliffs were involved at all in their vision, they were there to suicide off of. Aosoth is just deep like that, I guess. In the little press blurb for this, they're quoted thusly: " tracks still haunt us, as delivering them was a painful and excruciating experience, and left some of us even physically wounded..." The goal here was to be "spiritual," ostensibly from a melancholy place.
