Four years after their debut album Herephemine and its instrumental version, the British artists The Ever Living are at it again. And "it" translates into "retro-futuristic metal from outer space" as the band themselves state, and that's what reigns on their new album Artificial Devices.
Their heavy music oscillates around the super-well flowing post-metal backgrounds and angry-sounding, very metal-like vocals. The "space" part of heir description is certainly referring to the electronica- and synth-heavy base of their music, it's the key ingredient for the smooth and utterly engaging kind of metal sound. It feels very modern and can be easily compared to what Deafheaven or Violet Cold offer in their works, but slightly less extravagant. It's very well audible all over the place, like in the album's most popular De-Emulate with its slightly oldschool electronica samples or very much electronic You've Come to the Right Place.
And the British make it work in various ways. It is mostly this kind of faster post-metal the heaviness of which is ready to crush the audience while the vocals keep the dark energy going. But in some places, like in a beautiful Ruminance, it is more into the slower, melancholically painful kind of metal and I love it and I cry with it.
