Enemy of Myself
The Fury
Rating
Style: Death Metal and more
Release date: November 11th 2008
 


At first I wasn’t too keen on this album by Spanish Enemy of Myself. It’s been stuck on my PC’s and in the car for a long time (yes, I know, the label will probably say that’s it’s been way too long – sorry!).

 

Something told me that I ought to like it, don’t know why.

 

The band has labelled itself melodic death metal, but that isn’t the label I would stick on to their music. Well, fair enough, it’s that too, however it’s also punk-ish in the metalcore way and even holds elements of something I can best define as emo (even though the band’s probably going to kill me for that remark).

 

Now I believe I’ve cracked it. It took some time, but ‘The Fury’ has worked its way under my skin and has grown into an album that I really enjoy. Enemy of Myself without a doubt holds a lot of talent.

 

‘The Fury’ has versatility, both in terms of the music and the vocal performance – growls, screams, clean voice, groove, melody, solos, artificial harmonics en masse and even acoustic guitar, it’s got a shitload of good stuff, the entire thing just had to sort of fall into place for me.

 

I’m glad it did – you go ahead and try it.
