Style: Modern Melodic Death Metal

’Daylight Deception’ is the title of the brand new album by the Sweden based modern melodic death metal band THE BEREAVED... and a must buy if you’re into that kinda stuff.

 

My promo-CD contains 10 tracks of... as written above... modern melodic death metal with all the typical ingredients, such as; Harsh vocals, choruses with clean vocals and excellent guitar runs.

 

I’m not familiar with their debut album, so I can’t compare it to this brand new one, but if it’s just as good as ’Daylight Deception’, then it’s worth checking out too.

Well... even though the harsh vocals get a bit monotonous in the long run the excellent guitar runs makes up for that. And the clean vocal in the catchy choruses adds another 30 points in my book.

Tracks like “Parasitic Sleep”, “Freezing Blood” and “Heartlight Signal”, to name a few are all packed with thoughtful tempos and interesting structures that will blow you away. But the best track of the bunch is the last one. Namely the fucking awesome “An Inconvenient Lie”. This track rules, boys and girls! Everything fits like a glove when it comes to this track. The guitar runs, the vocals, the drumming... everything.

 

Modern melodic death metal fans should by or seriously regret not doing so!
