Free Music Notes for Through the Ashes of Empires Album
Free Music Review: As seen on the import review
Hit: 5 Stars
I have no idea when this album is supposed to hit stores in the US, but I already have it..so there. Guitarist Ahrue Luster left the band last year after recording 1999`s `The Burning Red`, and 2001`s `Supercharger` while in the fold. Both albums showed a band in an extremely experimantal state. The results were both compelling and repelling. I own both albums and frankly enjoy them, but after hearing TTAOE I find myself wondering just what they were doing. Through The Ashes Of Empires shows flashes of the previous two albums, but relies heavily on the brutality of 1995`s `Burn My Eyes` and 1997`s `The More Things Change`...and who said that was a bad thing? New axe man Phil Demmel (who was with vocal/guitar man Robb Flynn in Vio-lence) seems to have lit a fire under the band, because this album is about as subtle as a heart attack. David McClain`s drum work is absolutely off the charts, the mix by Colin Richardson is the classic MH sound that he helped engineer: god of thunder drums, and a wall of guitars. Robb Flynn`s voice sounds the best that it ever has, and his songwriting has taken yet another giant leap forward. Also bassist Adam Duce has returned to adding backing vocals, his contribution in that field has grown to adding trade off rants at key points, the results are effective to say the least. Kicking off with "Imperium", as good of an album opener as they`ve ever played, which at one point features an Iron Maiden-like 2 guitar harmony. Flynn admitted that he finally will allow himself do such a thing. Through the 53 minutes of this disc, there are many surprises. "Days Turn Blue To Gray" features a breakdown in the middle that I can best describe as Coldplay with Dave Lombardo in the background. Let`s not forget "Left Unfinished" a song that displays Flynn`s love for his adopted parents, and a blistering resentment for his biological parents. There are too many great moments in this album for me to accurately describe. My advice to you is to get a hold of this album any way you can. This is by no means some Limp Bizkit-like attempt to be cool with `da kids`. This is serious, grown-ups metal.This band is not by any means back, they never left...you people just never noticed...shame on you
