They debuted on the world's stage (and on my blog) back in 2018 with the spectacular dose of post-metal experience in JORD. Now they show a follow-up in the form of very heavy and very noisy Diorama. The Danish band managed to get a circle of devoted followers who will not be disappointed with the new material.
The new album seems to be a bit more massive I think and more vocals-heavy too. Maybe it's just an impression but there's so much of Kim Song Sternkopf's vocals that sound very emotional with those desperate and angry vibes all over (and also horror-like, very metal ones in Tvesind). Super interesting is balancing them with contrasting, ethereal female guest voices of Mirza Radonjica and Kathrine Shepard in a couple of songs. The rapid Photophobic slowers a bit in the middle to make room for Radonjica's airy vibes and feels even faster afterwards. The change of pace feels really well also in Vestige, a brilliant track that won't leave anyone standing still.
I'm not huge fan of the clean vocals that appear from time to time; to me they always have some of the alt rock's kitsch, but luckily, they are barely noticeable on the album. What is better audible is the might and weight of the guitar music here; their sound is crisp and satisfying, slowly building up to the extremely massive finish in the album's last track Diorama. I can't not mention the album art that strikes with this kind of attractive artistic minimalism, I like it a lot.
Diorama costs 8 USD.
