█ The black death metal band Tragacanth from the █
█ Netherlands is a quite new band that originated in █
█ 2014. In December 2015 they released their debut █
█ full lenght album æAnthology Of The EastÆ. The █
█ band members are all experienced musicians, so █
█ letÆs find out what Tragacanth brings us. █
█ This debut album is packed with 8 tracks of █
█ symphonic and melodic death black metal. The █
█ guitar riffs are very technical and filled with █
█ solos and harmony. The drums are progressive and █
█ grooving, but are also filled with tight double █
█ bass parts. The vocals are very good with screams █
█ combined with grunts. So, some nice ingredients to █
█ start with! █
█ ThereÆs one thing I musically donÆt understand and █
█ thatÆs the use of the keyboards. In my opinion █
█ they use it to much and it sometimes sounds way to █
█ present. I wonder if they really needed it, █
█ because their music is already filled with melodic █
█ elements brought by the guitars. This album is █
█ clearly meant to be a mystical and musical █
█ journey, but thatÆs not my cup of tea as how they █
█ presented it. Everything is way to need and some █
█ elements are not in balance with the rest. Also █
█ the production misses a lot of rawness. On the █
█ other hand, I like the composing of the songs, █
█ because it is filled with variety. █
█ You can hear that the musicians are experienced █
█ and know how to play. So my conclusion is that █
█ æAnthology Of The EastÆ brings you nice symphonic █
█ death black metal with a big dose of melodies, but █
█ in my opinion the production could done better and █
█ the keys are to much. LetÆs wait for the second █
█ album! █
