Free Music Review: Melodic death metal is alive and well
Hit: 5 Stars
"Pitch.Black.Effects" by Callenish Circle is the album that fans of melodic death metal have been waiting on for a long time. If you are one of the afore mentioned fans who yearns for the days when Soilwork and In Flames were at their creative (not commercial) peak, then I would very strongly encourage you to check out this CD. Callenish Circle are heavier than both of those bands, however their music is in the same vein. While I don't know a lot about the band, Callenish Circle had an exceptional melodic death release a few years back called "My Passion // Your Pain", but their latest clearly surpasses that one. There is an added element (I guess you could call it industrial) to the songs this time around, but I think overall the music is pretty straightforward. Like last year's Dark Tranquillity album, "Pitch.Black.Effects" starts off very strong, but unlike DT's CD, this one is strong through to the end (especially the pummeling "As You Speak"). This CD is definitely not going to appeal to all metal fans; in fact, big fans of the current metalcore movement may not appreciate what's been done here. However, in their musical genre, Callenish Circle have created a great CD that unfortunately will be heard by very few people and appreciated by even fewer.
Other melodic death metal bands that are still putting out great CDs include Dark Tranquillity and Heaven Shall Burn (who are really one of the best around). If you like melodic death and have not heard HSB, then I highly recommend that you give them a try.
(P.S. Don't get me wrong...some of the original metalcore bands are good, specifically Shadows Fall and Killswitch Engage when they had the original vocalist. However, the soulless imitators are killing what used to be pretty good music.)
