San Diego, California based Gravespell are back with their sophomore album to follow up their 2013 debut 'Gaia Terminus'. Their style is a mixture of technical death metal and black metal, inspired by Norwegian black metal acts such as Emperor and Windir as well as bands from the melodic and technical side of the death metal genre. The material on 'Frostcrown' is aggressive with a technical twist, but also very melodic and atmospheric. The album has a bit of the same magic, enthralling atmosphere that we know from classic Vintersorg albums even though Gravespell's music itself doesn't have too much in common with the the Swedes. The song material is incredible strong throughout the entire album with really tastefull gitarwork both when it comes to riffs, hamonies and lead parts. Behind the wall of drums, bass and guitars lies a quite simple but very effective layer of keyboards that without beeing too dominant contributes a lot to the all over atmosphere. The vocals are definitely more death metal than black metal, but it contains elements of both genres and it works very well over this material. Gravespell may not bring anything new to the table, but still they have succeeded in creating an exciting album that really captivates the listener from start to end. Highly Recommended.

Gravespell - Redemption (OFFICIAL VIDEO 2018) | PROGRESSIVE DEATH METAL

Lyrics: Redemption (unabridged) Awakened by fire Brought forth by the storm All forms risen of earth Crumble with my legacy Final moments of reality Shattered by insanity Incomprehensible forms take shape Unfolding madness in its wake Into which will become hell A drink of my wine Bleeds into the chalice For my last drink Before I am dragged below Deception, none left to deceive Redemption, I cannot receive Temptation, lost to my greed Revelation, the emptiness that I feed Sorrow becomes a sickness One that worsens with forgiveness No mercy exists in darkness Leaving you to stand out Unleashed a can of worms Feeding off the remnants Decaying face of matter Unending energy Demoness of dawn Powerless over me A sacrificial oath Existence shall flee My eyes now wide open Bearing witness to the flame All forms risen of earth Crumble with my legacy In the shadows Lies a sickness On into the end ? Formed August 2011, Gravespell holds a unique style of Blackened/Death Metal. Gravespell captures a melodic and atmospheric sound which blends the brutality of death metal and the raw power of black metal. ? ?Band: Gravespell ?Album: Frostcrown ?Year: 2018 ?Genre: Progressive Death Metal ?Country: United States (San Diego, California) ?Follow the band : https://www.facebook.com/gravespell/ ?Buy the album : https://bit.ly/2qXDpIc ?Subscribe us for more :) ?Click on the notification bell and support the band !!! #bestof_deathmetal
