Preludium are a band from Poland that has been featured before in this zine with a musical style I would describe as being blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2013 album "Redemption" which was released by Transcending Obscurity.
"Soul Torment" which is also the first song on the album opens up with dark sound effects before adding in some dark, heavy and melodic guitar riffs and a few seconds later drums kick in which also leads to deep death metal growls coming into the music shortly after that and a minute later guitar solos and leads start coming in and out of the song and you can also hear the bass guitars in certain sections as well as a brief use of black metal influenced vocals.
"Altars Of Redemption" begins with some fast, heavy and brutal blackened death metal guitar riffs along with some drums before adding in death metal growls as well as a brief use of black metal screams and the drums also utilize some blast beats before alternating between mid paced and fast parts and as the song moves on you can hear bass guitars as well as atmospheric background sounds before getting heavy again as well as mixing melody into the guitar riffing.
"Incarnations" opens up with heavy and dark sounding guitar riffs before adding in drums and blackened death metal vocals and then the music speeds up along with some brutal blast beats as well as the guitar riffing utilizing some melody and then the song starts to alternate between mid paced and fast parts as well as bringing in a small amount of guitar leads and towards the end the bass guitars start utilizing more power.
"Root Of Suffering" picks up where the last song left off with sound effects before going into some fast, heavy and brutal guitar riffs along with blast beats from the drums as well as mixture of death and black metal vocals before alternating between mid paced and fast parts along with a brief use of guitar solos and leads.
"Circle Of Life" starts off with heavy guitar riffs, drums and blackened death metal vocals and then the music speeds up a bit as well as adding in a small amount of blast beats as well as alternating between mid paced and fast parts.
"The Seven Gates of Hell" kicks in with fast and brutal guitar riffs and drums before adding in the growls and going for a more mid paced direction and then alternating between fast and mid paced parts as well as bringing in blast beats and black metal screams and halfway through the song there is a brief use of guitar solos and leads.
"Destiny Of Mortals" hits it off with heavy and melodic guitar riffs along with some drums before adding in deep growls and then the music goes into a faster direction along with some blast beats and then alternating between slow and fast parts as well as adding melody into the guitar riffing along with a small amount of black metal screams.
"Arena Of Souls" makes its way in with fast and heavy guitar riffs along with some blast beats from the drums and deep growls and after awhile the music starts to alternate between slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as adding in a small amount of melody.
"Hatred Brings Suffering" is introduced with heavy and melodic guitar riffs along with some drums and a few seconds alter blackened death metal vocals make their way into the song and then the music goes into a faster direction along with some brutal blast beats and then alternating between mid paced and fast parts and halfway through the song guitar solos and leads are added in the music and you can also hear bass guitars in the background.
"Sins Of Mankind" which is also the last song on the album begins with powerful sounding bass guitars and background atmosphere before going into a more fast , brutal and melodic guitar riffs along with some blast beats from the drums as well as a mixture of death and black metal vocals and after awhile the music goes into a more mid paced direction and then speeding up again towards the end.
Song lyrics cover morality, determination, and escapes from the circles of life and death, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound to it where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Preludium and if you are a fan of blackened death metal, you should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Soul Torment" "Root Of Suffering" "Destiny Of Mortals" and "Sins Of Mankind". RECOMMENDED BUY.
