Third full length album form Italian Melodic
Death Metal band Disarmonia Mundi. This
is my first encounter with this band… and that’s my mistake…
because this album
is a very pleasant surprise.
Disarmonia
Mundi was
formed back in 2000, and their debut album is called "Nebularium"(2001).
This album was followed by "Fragments of D-Generation". (2004).
This third release called “Mind Tricks” is featuring Bjorn
“Speed” Strid (Soilwork/Terror
2000) on vocals…he was also singing on album number two "Fragments
of D-Generation".
To
be very honest… my expectations wasn’t very high when I first threw
this album in
my CD-player, but I was already hooked after just one track. “Mind
Tricks” is all about Thrashing Melodic Death Metal and most bands in
that genre tend
to sound the same and they lack that certain thing that makes you go; -
“WOW this
is
fucking great music”!
But not Disarmonia Mundi... they are blending crushing guitar riffs,
thunderous drumming, aggressive and clean vocals with melody… and they
do it fucking
great.
I
was totally caught with my pants down and I couldn’t believe what I
was hearing?? “DAMN,
this band is fucking great”!
Yes, that was my first reaction. With
a crystal clear production Disarmonia
Mundi deliver the goods here... we get mid
tempo and up tempo tracks, memorable riffs, memorable choruses, and very
aggressive
vocals, what more can you ask for?
The
music is varied and all-crushing and the songs hit right where it
hurts.Maybe you can compare this Italian band with SOILWORK and IN
FLAMES but Disarmonia
Mundi has
a lot more Death Metal on board than the other two bands. And
in my opinion Disarmonia Mundi is
so much better, period!
I
strongly advise you to take a chance and to familiarise your self with
what in my humble
opinion is one of the best Melodic Death Metal albums out there.
Recommended
tracks: All of them.
