Album Review
Words of Farewell – “Immersion”
melodic death metal acts. According to their bio, Immersion is their first major release outside of a demo and an EP. The group is billed as progressive death metal, but are nowhere close to that category. Instead what you get is some catchy, “rock n roll” death metal a la Clayman era In Flames – and much like Clayman, most of the songs are of the fist-pumping, get a crowd worked up and have a good time style.
Words of Farewell are a fairly new German band trying to stand apart in a sea of other melodic death metal acts. According to their bio, Immersion is their first major release outside of a demo and an EP. The group is billed as progressive death metal, but are nowhere close to that category. Instead what you get is some catchy, “rock n roll” death metal a la Clayman era In Flames – and much like Clayman, most of the songs are of the fist-pumping, get a crowd worked up and have a good time style.
It’s actually quite surprising how good a lot of this album’s songs are. There are however, also a couple of clunker songs which throw a wrench into things a bit. Despite a couple of missteps though, this record is definitely worthy of purchase. If you like your death metal on the catchy side, then pick this up.
