A review by
Herzebeth September 02, 2006
Urkraft is a Danish band that plays Melodic Death Metal withAt The Gates and Sceptic touches and even some Quo Vadis undertones (I'm talking about their technicality). So their music as a whole does not sound bad or anything, they actually have enormous skills when it comes to execution and songwriting as the whole album is quite easy on the ear and somehow very fresh when hearing the structures; the tunes are managed in a very harmonious way though, so the album is not "inhuman" at all, it's actually more horizontal than edgy if you know what I mean.
What went wrong? Two things as far as I can see; the most important thing is the vocal-work, the tones are sadly very weak and quite limited, so when the album is going through a bland stage the vocalist just makes it worse instead of aiding the track. The secondary thing is the addition of keyboards; the overall music is really soft and mellow at times, but when the keyboards pierce the song, everything becomes even more fragile and unfortunately very unexciting. Both facts are minor details of course, but those points are the ones that stop this album from being a good CD.
This album is not the greatest thing ever released and it is not total boredom, it's just a decent release that will hook the people into really?and I mean Really? melodic death metal.

I gave the album a listen because of the name and the fact they're from Denmark...I wasn't impressed. I found the album boring and the vocals to weak for the music
