Crematory Destination Review on Metal Addicts
say Crematory should have been the soundtrack for the TV show Angel as they embody his musical persona. For those unfamiliar with the show, Angel is a vampire with a soul, much like the essence of Crematory’s music.
Their ability to blend Amon Amarth’s guitars with a classic church organ sound and make it sound seamless is evident in the track “My Own Private God.” It showcases their unique blend of influences and musical styles that set them apart from other bands in the genre. Although there are times when Crematory may lean too heavily on electronic elements, as seen in “Welt Aus Glas,” the incorporation of guitars in the track gives it a balanced tone that aligns with their industrial metal roots.
Having reviewed their 2018’s “Oblivion” and their 2017’s “Live Inssurection,” it is clear that “Destination” encapsulates everything that Crematory stands for. In a twisted yet compelling manner, they have managed to encompass the full breadth of their musical identity within this album, showcasing both their strengths and potential weaknesses. This album truly highlights the multifaceted nature of the band, appealing to diehard fans who appreciate their evolution and experimentation within the metal genre.
Crematory’s “Destination” is set for release on May 2nd via ROAR, featuring a tracklist that includes songs such as “Days Without Sun,” “Deep in the Silence,” “Ashes of Despair,” and “Toxic Touch.” Each song offers a unique perspective on the band’s musical prowess and their ability to push boundaries within the metal scene.
In conclusion, Crematory’s “Destination” serves as a testament to their growth and evolution as a band. With a diverse range of influences and a willingness to experiment with different styles, they have crafted an album that captures the essence of who they are as artists.
