Reviews in Haikus

 

(Andy Synn returns again to his irregular series of album reviews in haiku. Three reviews of three lines each come after the jump. With music, of course.)

It seems like almost everyone and their mothers are off to Migration Fest or Bloodstock this weekend, but I’ve taken it upon myself to ensure that our faithful readership aren’t left wanting. How good am I?

Anyway, we’ve got three new albums this time around, covering Canada, Australia, and the good old US of A (respectively)!

 

Despised Icon-Beast

DESPISED ICON – BEAST*

Ree-ree. Ree-ree. Ree.
Ree Ree-ree. Ree ree. Ree ree.
Ree ree ree ree-ree…?

*Translated

Breakdowns. Blastbeats. Chugs.
More Hardcore. Same strengths. Same flaws.
If it ain’t broken…?

 

 

 

King-Reclaim the Darkness

KING – RECLAIM THE DARKNESS

“Blackened” Melodeath
With an Immortal-esque vibe.
Some thrills, needs more chills.

  1. The Vale of Pnath record is outstanding! I had heard of this band but never listened to them before. I will now check out their older stuff too. Killer concoction of technical and melodic death metal. Great job guys–come tour Asia.
