The Chemical Mind - Beneath the Shadow It Casts (2019) EN


Nick Krueger and his The Chemical Mind had appeared on the blog already with his single Still and Silent, now the Texan comes back with his project's first long play called Beneath the Shadow It Casts.

The band exists already from 2013, but started releasing material quite late and only now is showing their music in its full bloom. Recorded almost single-handedly by Krueger (with some help from Sam Meador and Matthew Carl Earl of Xanthochroid) album shows extremely inclusive and eclectic approach to metal music. There's room in it for delicate piano sequences, metal growls and distorted electronics. And the whole thing is characterized by fantastic flow, compositions go down smoothly, almost like pop music.

It's very hard to point to the best album on this very well balanced album. Perhaps it's the most ballad-like Movement of the Light, or maybe the catchy Saccharine Fruit or the finishing, very atmospheric The Mirror of Simple Souls. You should just draw from Krueger's works as much as possible.

Beneath the Shadow It Casts costs 7 USD. 

Check: Saccharine Fruit
