Métal Intégral - Review / DEMONTAGE

Demon ageless

Approximate translation of the review

After a first album, Sacrilege 'n Miscreancy, came out in 2006 at Unsung Heroes records, the Canadian trio cover DEMONTAGE calls from Shadow Kingdom.
Before detailing some six compositions included in this album, it must address the issue of sound. We do not know if the sound results from a conscious choice and assumed the group or whether it reflects a lack of drastic. The sound is very live, very raw, without any frills, each element seems to constantly struggle to emerge, so we wondered if there was mixing. The vocals are well submerged, the battery emits sounds noisy streets and the guitars are simply rendering very sour. The whole objective makes listening difficult. However, not being an absolute fan productions millimeter and too clinical today and enjoying the productions of the hard bands like MANILLA ROAD, CIRITH UNGOLor VENOM and DESTRUCTION (not to mention a good number of formations obscure the New Wave of British Heavy Metal), I confess that the overall sound of The Principal Extinction does not lack a certain charm typically underground. However, DEMONTAGE in the future could greatly improve the rendering of his compositions retaining the raw and wild, but at least improving the mix.
Entourage of Demons Dances and Accursed Saboteur Up to the Plate with Heavy Metal highly influenced by the 80s, with strong influences of Speed and Thrash the first time: galloping rhythm section on frantic tempos, staccato riffs and sharp, with a hoarse voice recalling moments belching a wild Cronos (VENOM) or Schmier beginnings (DESTRUCTION of the time Eternal Devastation).
Things are more nuanced with the quiet intro on acoustic guitar and keyboards The Principal Extinction (the song) which engages on a more moderate pace, before we found the frantic riffs and good acceleration, all on more than eight minutes. The fractures are numerous and rhythmic stimulus tension throughout the eight minutes and some of this as effective.
The Malignant Paradigm fine has a very open Heavy, the rhythm is quick to get carried away and the vocals are by turns almostDeath and Black, a result particularly intense. Extending its about
over seven minutes, Satan of Self (The Warrior)... & Seer of Truths (The Conjurer) adopt a more and more epic constrastée: What panache! It is there at the time the best song on the album and illustrate the facet of the group more attractive. Personally, I would urge the group to pursue this path. The introduction of
is A Thousand Dooms more than Black Sabbath song tribute to our father at all (sound effects of rain included). After that, a good sequence bourrinage ravaging everything in its path. Along the way, an arrangement of organ involved so incongruous and strange. After eight minutes of pilonage, the song ends with almost two minutes of storm sounds as if the group wanted to serve us after its passage, desolation reigned ...
At the time of assessment, it is a bit circumspect. The personality of DEMONTAGE is due both to its quality (try the fusion of Heavy Metal 80s classic from Black Metal in the same decade, influences Death Metal) and its flaws (the sound, the arrangement may not quite reached the different types and sequences). After all, Black Metal fans have every right to worship training obscure post production ultra-craft: why fans of Heavy Metal very underground could they not engage in the same perverse pleasure?
