╠═════════════════════════════[RELEASE.NOTES]═════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ Ignotum is an exceptional introduction to The Voynich Code, an album ║
║ which even as fingers tap out these words continues to seduce and ║
║ impress further. Some parts will remind of more recognisable bands, ║
║ artists the five-piece will soon be standing alongside in stature as ║
║ they grow from this striking start it is easy to suspect and expect, ║
║ but simply it is one of the most enjoyable and exciting extreme ║
║ adventures to come along in recent times. ║
║ ║
║ The Voynich Code hail from Lisbon, Portugal and have been plying ║
║ their trade for barely a year but the songwriting and nuanced ║
║ aggression they get across on their debut EP Ignotum shows ambition ║
║ well within their reach. Now, I know youÆll be loving a band ║
║ comparison or two to get the ball rolling and if you twisted my arm ║
║ I would have to say that Born Of Osiris come to mind first and ║
║ foremost. The twinkling keys and layered guitars found throughout ║
║ Ignotum are a staple of the Sumerian sound that BOO are associated ║
║ with. Once you get past the reliance on these elements to shift ║
║ through passages and transitions between tracks, there is an ║
║ abundance of solid riffs that hark back to OG deathcore circa ║
║ 2007/2008. The only thing missing is the occasional sub bass drop, ║
║ something we're sure most are thankful for. Playful lead work and a ║
║ devilish vocal performance also help spark life into material that ║
║ other bands would let fester in the mire of deathcore monotony. ║
║ ║
║ By no means a flawless piece of work, this debut from a band barely ║
║ just finding their voice is a beacon of optimism, a beacon for those ║
║ who crave a melding of the modern musings of BOO and the ║
║ unadulterated force of early Whitechapel. The Voynich Code released ║
║ Ignotum on January 30th and you can grab it through iTunes, Bandcamp ║
║ and all the other digital retailers. ║
