If the first song of "Severed Senses Combined" sounds a bit like a classic Melodic Death, with the classic fast hyper/catchy/melodic riffs that we've all hear before there are already some signs of some Progressive music that come from the Keyboards, and that's a good start. But, this is "Silent" and "Arboretum" that blewed me away. Actually those two songs are a lot more complex than the majority of the Melodic Death Metal realeases. This mix of heavy melodic riffs and black/death vocals with those dark progressive structures is simply excellent. When you'll listen to this music you'll have the feeling that you're listenting to an extreme Prog Metal band and not a new boring Melo-Death one. This originality is the strong point of Causemos and honestly I don't see why it shouldn't work for them?
The quality of this demo is great. The three songs are original and surprising, our musicians are able to play really technical music and the sound is correct so I don't see why a label couldn't find something good in the music of Causemos. I didn't have the luck to listen to their two previous demos but this one is a good way to show to the Metalheads that it is still possible to write original "Melodic Death".
Let's hope that Causemos will find a way to sign with a good label. Let's hope too that they will be able to write some others songs in the vein of "Silent" and "Arboretum" to release a full-length album that will (if they still have this good inspiration of course) probably kick the asses of a lot of people. We just have to be patient now, but I'm ready to bet a lot of money on this newcomer? don't forget this name "Causemos", you'll see that I wasn't wrong at the end!
