Autumnblaze/Every Sun Is Fragile/Pulverised Records/2013 CD Review


  Autumnblaze  are  a  band  from  Germany  that  started  out  as  being  a  more  melodic  blackened  doom  metal  band  but  over  the  years  evolved  more  into  trip  rock/metal  band  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Every  Sun  Is  Fragile"  which  was  released  by  Pulverised  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with  some  fast  drumming  and  blast  beats  being utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow, mid  paced  to  fast  melodic  riffs  that  combine  post  rock  with  some  doom  and  black  metal  influences  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own along  with  some  soft  and  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  depressive  rock  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  enhance  the  dark  atmosphere  of  the  music.

  Vocals  are  mostly  clean  singing  with  some  whispers  and  a  brief  use  of  black  metal  screams  and  deep  death  metal  growls,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  depressive  themes  with  the  songs  being  written  in  a  mixture  of  English  and  German,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Autumnblaze  are  a  very  great  sounding  trip  rock/metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "New  Ghosts  In  Town"  "Im  Spiegel"  "Cold  Soul"  and  "A  Place  For  Paper  Diamonds".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
