│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Centvrion is a band hailing from Italy and this ║ │
│║ is their third release so far. I have liked the ║ │
│║ last two pretty well but they were nothing that ║ │
│║ made me stand up and cheer. This one is better ║ │
│║ musically speaking with some really cool riffs ║ │
│║ and pretty good song structures but it has one ║ │
│║ glaring problem. Well before I get to the ║ │
│║ negatives let me talk a little more about the ║ │
│║ positives. First off you have the riff oriented ║ │
│║ thrash mixed with touches of pure and power ║ │
│║ metal here and there. Add to this excellent riff ║ │
│║ work with some really catchy leads that are ║ │
│║ melodic even while shredding. The songs ║ │
│║ themselves show great variety with song ║ │
│║ structure and you never find yourself thinking ║ │
│║ you have heard the same song before. You would ║ │
│║ think all of this would add up to a pretty kick ║ │
│║ ass album but then the hammer falls. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ You start the CD player and sit back and the ║ │
│║ first strains of "Maximum Golgotha" start coming ║ │
│║ through the speakers. All of a sudden this you ║ │
│║ hear this noise and you thinkà"Is someone ║ │
│║ scratching a chalkboard?"à"Is someone strangling ║ │
│║ a cat?"à"Did Mark æI wanna flyàfly to the ║ │
│║ angelsÆ Slaughter break into my house and start ║ │
│║ singing Karaoke along with this particular CD?" ║ │
│║ And then it hits youà"Holy shit that is the ║ │
│║ VOCALS on this CD!!!" I really donÆt know what ║ │
│║ is scarier, the vocals themselves or the fact ║ │
│║ that I used a Mark Slaughter reference. Of ║ │
│║ course I am exaggerating a bit since the vocals ║ │
│║ cant be as bad as anything done by Slaughter but ║ │
│║ they sure as fuck ainÆt pretty. The problem I ║ │
│║ have is when the vocalist tries to sing in a ║ │
│║ higher tone. Not only is he not good at it but ║ │
│║ then he tries to add vibrato to the end of ║ │
│║ almost every line he is singing and it quickly ║ │
│║ gets from bad to highly annoying. I just ║ │
│║ absolutely canÆt believe no one in the studio ║ │
│║ said something about this. Someone really needs ║ │
│║ to do a little quality control here. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Overall a worthy album if you can get past the ║ │
│║ highly annoying vocals. If it werenÆt for the ║ │
│║ vocals I would have rated this a 4 out of 5 but ║ │
│║ as it stands they lost 2 whole points simply for ║ │
│║ annoying the crap out of meàheh :( ║ │
