Molto apprezzata anche la linea vocale con growl e scream alternati.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Tuttavia la variet\u00e0 ritmica e sonora attesa per un album che si propone come Death Metal tecnico\/melodico si ferma circa alla prima canzone. Le successive tracce si mantengono tutte circa sullo stesso livello compositivo, con ritmi serrati e riff Death Metal abbastanza classici e crudi, senza una ricercatezza sonora che dovrebbe spiccare. Anche la melodia \u00e8 spesso coperta da distorsione troppo accentuata o da mixing che non riesce a metterla in evidenza e facendo risultare a tratti esasperante lo scream di Sideeq Mohammed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Poche sono le tracce che veramente attirano l\u2019attenzione e, guarda caso, sono proprio quelle che superano i 6 minuti di durata: la prima traccia, gi\u00e0 citata, \u201c<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Elevation of the Form<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">\u201d e \u201c<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Turning Over<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">\u201d le quali sono veramente delle ottime tracce, complete di virtuosismi, complessit\u00e0 sonora, poliritmie e melodie azzeccate! Degna di nota \u00e8 anche l\u2019ottava traccia, \u201c<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Compression<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">\u201d per l\u2019atmosfera molto cupa e scura che quasi ricorda gli At The Gates, e in cui le vocals sono molto ben mixate, a differenza delle altre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">In conclusione posso dire che questo lavoro non \u00e8 un brutto album, ma \u00e8 meno di ci\u00f2 che personalmente mi aspettavo. L\u2019energia dell\u2019album si presta molto pi\u00f9 per un ascolto live piuttosto che in casa o come ascolto casuale. Manca di un buon mixaggio e di un suono abbastanza curato, ma si ritrovano delle buone idee nei brani.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":53,"featured_media":34407,"template":"","class_list":["post-34252","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NOT ABOVE EVIL \u2013 Always Darkest Before - Heavyworlds.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heavyworlds.com\/it\/review\/not-above-evil-always-darkest-before\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"it_IT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"NOT ABOVE EVIL \u2013 Always Darkest Before - Heavyworlds.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Il trio di Manchester di Not Above Evil torna con un terzo full lenght, \u201cAlways Darkest Before\u201d, a ben cinque anni dal predecessore \u201cThe Trascendental Signified\u201d.&nbsp; Con i primi due album, la band aveva sicuramente destato la curiosit\u00e0 e alzando le aspettative per il terzo, ma vediamo in dettaglio il risultato del lavoro in studio.
