│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Norther has risen in the ranks of melodic death ║ │
│║ metal (or power metal with harsh vocals ║ │
│║ according to this site) in the last few years ║ │
│║ and with the release of Til Death Unites Us, ║ │
│║ Norther have found themselves in the middle of ║ │
│║ the spotlight. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Solution 7 gave us a glimpse of what was to come ║ │
│║ from this release. What it did was prepared us ║ │
│║ for the worst û because this album isnÆt as near ║ │
│║ experimental as what most of us thought it was ║ │
│║ going to be. Til Death Unites Us does deviate ║ │
│║ from the ABCÆs of Norther but it doesnÆt deviate ║ │
│║ too far. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Musically, Norther has put more stress upon the ║ │
│║ structure and guitar riffs in the music than ║ │
│║ previously. The guitars sound a bit heavier and ║ │
│║ the riffs are less ôpower metalö sounding with ║ │
│║ big chords (although the cords are present in ║ │
│║ most of the songs û mostly choruses) and taken ║ │
│║ towards more of a death metal road. This places ║ │
│║ a lot of pressure on the keyboards to present us ║ │
│║ with the melody since neither the singer nor ║ │
│║ guitars are filling the music. And the keyboards ║ │
│║ do keep up with the heavy demand. The melodies ║ │
│║ are catchy and sometimes override the guitars ║ │
│║ with focus. And there are also so extras hidden ║ │
│║ in the music that a careful listener can grab. ║ │
│║ For example, the heartbeat at the end of ║ │
│║ ôEverythingö is very cool. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ One of the coolest parts of Til Death Unites Us ║ │
│║ is the multiple moments when the music stops and ║ │
│║ lets the listener catch glimpses of the bass ║ │
│║ work. The bass is particularly well done on this ║ │
│║ album, and these little breaks of bass give the ║ │
│║ music a lot of variety and some interesting ║ │
│║ moments that catch you off guard. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Vocally, there are a few surprises on board this ║ │
│║ album. As in the Solution 7 EP there are some ║ │
│║ clean vocals present, courtesy of guitarist, ║ │
│║ Kristian Ranta. They arenÆt as relevant on this ║ │
│║ release as they were on the EP. They appear a ║ │
│║ couple of times on a couple of songs (ôOmenö ║ │
│║ comes to mind). And they are better done this ║ │
│║ time around û but they still feel out of place. ║ │
│║ Petri LindroosÆ vocals fit the bandÆs style ║ │
│║ pretty well and sometimes the clean vocals do û ║ │
│║ but most of the time they seem to come from left ║ │
│║ field.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Norther has never been great lyric writers. I ║ │
│║ have never expected them to be. This is no ║ │
│║ exception to the rule. The lyrics are a lot of ║ │
│║ talk of hell, hate, and violence but there are a ║ │
│║ couple of songs that stand out in the mix. ║ │
│║ ôNortherö is a song with lyrics made up from ║ │
│║ other Norther song titles. So if you are a long ║ │
│║ time Norther fan this is pretty interesting to ║ │
│║ try and pick them out. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Overall, this is a descent release from a band ║ │
│║ that is constantly placed behind other bands in ║ │
│║ this style. There are a few tricks in the ║ │
│║ sleeves but overall this is consistent and ║ │
│║ dedicated. Norther are on the way to good things ║ │
│║ and Til Death Unites Us just furthers them on ║ │
│║ their way. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Songs to check out: Throwing My Life Away, ║ │
│║ Norther, Fuck You. ║ │
