Truly Vision Of Disorder‘s long-awaited return sees them emerging even more fearsome. Its brisk pace almost ensures a chance of it feeling compressed upon initial listens.īut with some proper attention, the effort more than lives up to the high bar the band have previously set. Given the density of the songs featured “ The Cursed Remain Cursed” is not an album that is easily digested. Just blistering vitriol that has stewed long enough to become molten sludge.
There’s no predictable bass drops or djenty binary riffing.
While it may damage their viability in the current climate, it’s refreshing to find no pandering to the metal scene of today. A combination of the raw intent of their eponymous album modernized with refined musicianship and greater contrast. Truly this album is pretty much everything those who renounced “ From Bliss To Devastation” have been waiting for.
THOSE WHO REMAIN HARDCORE FULL
With lunging serrated riffs full of sinew and grit and a gnashing rhythm section behind them the rest of the band follow suit in venting their frustrations-dynamically unloading years of pent-up hostility. Some of his more reflective harmonies recall the lingering despair and hopeless longing that Alice In Chains‘ Layne Staley made a career out of. But his imposing delivery is aided greatly by rigid pacing and creative phrasings. The callousness of his lyrical content may seem brash. When he screams “give me hate, give me love, give me what I fucking deserve” on “ Hard Times“ you can’t help but believe he thrives on negativity. Tim Williams‘ wretched bellows spill forth tidal waves of abrasive lyrical bile. It may eschew traditional hardcore simplicity-but it certainly retains the defiant spirit. “ The Cursed Remain Cursed” is very much centered around vicious grooves and reclusive melody. creep in on occasion-their inclusion are more of a nod to the faithful than a defining trait. While some elements of “ From Bliss To Devastation” (see the crunchy riff in “ Annihilator“ ) and the refined vocal melodies of band offshoot Bloodsimple. Diehard fans take note: “ The Cursed Remain Cursed” is largely a return to the confrontational metallic hardcore that gave “ Imprint” its cult following.
