Slowmotion Apocalypse - Obsidian (Scarlet Records)
Review by Nathan Lynch
From the country known as Italy, Slowmotion Apocalypse come screaming onto the scene. So I pick up the album thinking just another band trying to do the thrash metal thing. I shrugged, placed it in my Hi-Fi pressed play and it’s three hours before I get past track two. This album, to be blunt, is shit-hot. Never before has it taken me more than a week to listen to a ten track album. Normally it would have been listened to and thrown in my cupboard never again to see the light of day after a couple of hours…. Obsidian hasn’t even left the CD player yet unless to be moved to another CD player. The band members Ivo, Tommaso, Alberto, Nicolas and Ivan have done themselves proud and come out with
some amazing songs. Slowmotion Apocalypse are like nothing else I have ever heard, although I think fans of Trivium will lap this up. Mark my words Slowmotion Apocalypse will go far.
Obsidian is a great album because it breathes new life into the metal scene, the riffs and solos are inspiring and the vocals are powerful. I also like the fast pace of the songs as it really gives you chance to go crazy! My favourite track on the album is Daydream Addiction, a song you can really headbang to.
I'm getting so addicted to this album that I'm forever finding myself putting it on full volume and I even have one of the songs as my ringtone now so I can show all my mates how good this band really is, the band also have a slot at the local rock night that I help out with.
Obsidian is S.M.A’s second album. If the first album is anything like this one I’ll be buying that too. If you are reading this article then go out and buy this album, it will be the greatest investment you will make in the near future. www.scarletrecords.it |
