Due to this, I ripped it as usual, and listened to the FLAC files in their best quality. + +The album starts off with a bang (**Equinox Nights** and my favourite track on it, **Roll the Dice**). What follows next is a comparatively slow track (**Sinner / Saint**) with more melodic elements and a fantastic solo between the second and third third of the song. + +**The Morningstar** is yet another highlight for me, and one I hope to see live. It is superseeded by an "intermission" (**Ancient Creatures**) that feels like a villain intro for a cartoon. It leads directly into the heavy riffing of **Primal Overdrive**. **Primal Overdrive** might be the heaviest track on the album. + +Just before we get into the last third of the album in terms of song length, we get hit with **4 AM (What's It To You)**, yet another song just written to be enjoyed live. **Parasite**'s intro is reminiscent of [Overkill][1]'s **Ironbound**, but then the song shifts into a heavy melodeath anthem that can not be underestimated. + +Second to last, **The Seven** is the last single that was released before the album came out. The lyrics more cheesy than I'm used to with Irony of Fate, but it is nonetheless a very catchy and groovy track. + +Finishing off the great album is yet another highlight, but a more calm, final-sounding one (**Desert Song**). It is a great end to a great album. + +Congrats on the new release, and hopefully see you soon (live)! + +[1]: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Overkill/168 diff --git a/_src/music-reviews/irony-of-fate/index.md b/_src/music-reviews/irony-of-fate/index.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0f87a66 --- /dev/null +++ b/_src/music-reviews/irony-of-fate/index.md @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +--- +eleventyNavigation: + key: Irony of Fate + parent: Music Reviews +permalink: false +dateCreated: 2025-03-04 +dateChanged: 2025-03-04 +--- \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/_src/music-reviews/irony-of-fate/irony-of-fate.json b/_src/music-reviews/irony-of-fate/irony-of-fate.json new file mode 100644 index 0000000..763f36a --- /dev/null +++ b/_src/music-reviews/irony-of-fate/irony-of-fate.json @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +{ + "album_artist": "Irony of Fate" +}
