Forged in Fury is an album that release a furious onslaught, but lack in vitality
Brazilian
death metal machine Krisiun returns to the scene after a long period without
releasing a studio album, after "The Great Execution" released back
in 2011 followed by an extensive and comprehensive touring around the globe,
the three brothers Alex, Max and Moyses charge back with their newest album
"Forged in Fury" which is their tenth full length in their
discography.
Krisiun
is undoubtedly a band who has "Forged in Fury" their name in the
underground scene always supported by the "Unmerciful Order" of fans
to expand their "Black Force Domain", these visionaries of the
"Apocalyptic Revelation", the three "Conquerors of
Armageddon" loaded of wrath and "Ageless Venomous", always
willing to perform "Works of Carnage" and "Bloodshed" with
no remorse for the "AssassiNation" of the masses by their explosive
"Southern Storm", they leave a desolate and cold path of “The Great
Execution” and clearly stating their legacy, this trio of Brazilians are well
known for what they have done in the past twenty five year of career and the
years to come will testify more ruthless assaults.
"Forged
in Fury" opens with "Scars of Hatred" demolishing guitar riff, a
galloping bass and an unmerciful drums, Alex spits ferocious grunts, next is
"Ways of Barbarism" is a pure overwhelming drum track, violent riff
and an outstanding guitar solo ending up subtle in slow paced, "Dogma of
Submission" seems to hold the brutality of the previous track but you can
appreciate how the instruments blend together more harmoniously, this is the
point where you realize, that this album has its own personality and distance
itself from the early sound of "Black Force Domain" or even recently
"Southern Storm" particularly my two favorite albums, "Burning
the Heretic" falls into a dissonant chaos, powerful grooving riff along
the bludgeoning drums by Max, "Oracle of the Ungod" clearly shows up
the prowess acquired to songwriting, taking them a step into the Progressive
Death Metal, "Timeless Starvation" is more oriented to the thrash
roots, fast riff and compelling drums, it links rapidly with "Milonga de
la Muerte" and acoustic guitar interlude, the last track is "Electric
Funeral" a Black Sabbath cover, very well executed under Krisiun trade
mark, probably the low point of this album is the length, over fifty two
minutes of pure relentless Death metal and a really short interlude almost at
the end, make this a hard bone to gnaw.
It
is true that this is a good album, the production, mixing and mastering reach
every note very clear, is an album crafted with outstanding songwriting,
memorable guitar solos, catchy riff and stunning drums, however; being honest I
believe we have already listen this, a slightly turn into their roots will be
more favorable to reinventing their sound for the next album, something that old
fans will greatly appreciate.
