█ Music is a strange thing. Every so often I will █
█ come across an album that is beyond a doubt █
█ fantastic and incredibly well made but for some █
█ reason, I just can't fall in love with it. The █
█ debut album from AUSTERYMN is one such album and █
█ it saddens me to say that something about it just █
█ doesn't quite hit the spot. █
█ They released a two-track promo back in 2013 and █
█ it seems that they've been busy over these last █
█ two years. The recently released full length album █
█ Sepulcrum Viventium contains a more polished █
█ version of that promo, along with 10 (not counting █
█ the intro) shiny new offerings from the darkest █
█ bowels of Stoke. █
█ My first concern with the album was shortly after █
█ the intro track finished. The opening guitar line █
█ on the second song has the painfully familiar tone █
█ of anything I recorded when I was still at school. █
█ I don't know what it is open this opening lick but █
█ it has buried it's way into my head like some █
█ insidious brain worm. It blends into the rest of █
█ the song and this strange amateurish sound is █
█ quickly overlaid with themes of deep evil and █
█ probable assault. █
█ The general tone of the album is good and Deathy, █
█ there are some fantastic riffs and a few solos █
█ that make want to perform some kind of act of █
█ removal to my facial regions. The vocals have █
█ enough balls behind them to impregnate an IVF █
█ clinic full of barren pensioners and this is █
█ exactly the kind of thing that wets my gills these █
█ days. Even these factors though don't seem to be █
█ enough in this instance and I have been left █
█ wanting something more. █
█ The issue seems to be that it is all very █
█ formulaic, a trend that seems to be very popular █
█ in the more extreme ends of Metal these days. If █
█ you start a song at about 1/5th the way through █
█ and listen for 5 seconds, then skip to around half █
█ way through you will be listening to exactly the █
█ same riff. If you then skip to ? through you will █
█ hear a breakdown or solo. In every song. Now that █
█ I have discovered this weird pattern I'm going to █
█ have to go back and listen to every other Metal █
█ album I've heard in the last year and see if they █
█ follow this trend. █
█ Nit-picking aside, this is a very good album and █
█ one that I would be proud to have created. █
█ Unfortunately it does lean on the stick of generic █
█ balance so there is nothing particularly memorable █
█ about the overall experience. I think this would █
█ make perfect background music for a conversation █
█ about raising kids or growing vegetables. █
