╠═════════════════════════════[RELEASE.NOTES]═════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ False Images are progressive Deathcore band from Nashua, NH. They ║
║ formed in 2014 and have released a self titled EP prior to ║
║ Imminentus. ║
║ ║
║ The first thing that struck me about this album was the immediate ║
║ introduction to a dark and eerie soundscape. This is the type of ║
║ music thatÆll actually freak you out while youÆre walking down a ║
║ dark alley on your own, or when its 3am and youÆre in your dark room ║
║ with your headphones on and you canÆt help but feel on edge- and ║
║ thatÆs without the main core of the music having to do a thing. But ║
║ then, all of a sudden, the music hits you like a bus. This isnÆt raw ║
║ brutality- this is evil, supernatural brutality. It teases and ║
║ torments you before commencing to bludgeon you to a pulp with its ║
║ unrelenting force. And for this reason, this album captivated me ║
║ from the get-go. ║
║ ║
║ This really is a monster of an album- its over 46 minutes long and ║
║ consists of 14 tracks-all of which boast something uniquely ║
║ interesting. While there doesnÆt seem to be a specific or consistent ║
║ lyrical concept surrounding it, the lyrics touch on topics such as ║
║ genocide, alien invasion, supernatural beings/forces and general ║
║ hatred û in other words, if youÆre looking for a love song or clean ║
║ sections you are seriously in the wrong place. The vocal ║
║ performances are carried out with impressive consistency and ║
║ certainly have their own space in each song, and thereÆs generally ║
║ an acceptable level of variation and range in and between each song. ║
║ There is no doubting that this guy is an absolute monster of a ║
║ vocalist; every song his aggressive low mids and growls are pushed ║
║ in to your face and compliment the instruments perfectly. If you ║
║ happen to be a fan of Sever The King, Evans vocal style is very ║
║ similar and some ways even dominant. ║
║ ║
║ The instrumentation on this album is absolutely crushing. The fact ║
║ that the guitarists have taken proper advantage of their extended ║
║ range guitars is pleasing, as you hear them hopping strings and ║
║ octaves in a æthallÆ-like fashion throughout the album, before ║
║ swiftly returning to bottom end riffing or a massive breakdown. And ║
║ as if this wasnÆt enough for you, they surely make up for it with ║
║ the ever-changing guitar driven atmospherics. As a guitarist and ║
║ producer myself it blows my mind to hear how well theyÆve blended ║
║ production tricks with various guitar tricks and techniques to ║
║ create a lot of the haunting and enchanting soundscapes you hear on ║
║ the album. While this may be common in many extreme metal genres I ║
║ have never personally heard such a level of intricacy and diversity; ║
║ the fact that every song seems to have a fresh feel whilst retaining ║
║ enough consistency, yet avoiding riff recycling really is ║
║ impressive. ║
║ ║
║ The production is both the glue and the icing on the cake for the ║
║ album. You can clearly hear how the fact that the guitarist was not ║
║ only writing but also producing the album worked massively to the ║
║ bands advantage. The production doesnÆt just enhance what was ║
║ already there as it does on many releases û it is very much part of ║
║ the album. Everything flows, every little trick plays a part in the ║
║ sound and feel of the album and it just gels so well. In terms of ║
║ the quality of production, it is well balanced whilst having a very ║
║ specific and recognisable style. The heavily scooped mids and ║
║ massive bass drops and snare verbs give it a mixture of a Jesse ║
║ Kirkbride mix and a Sever The King mix- which in my eyes is a golden ║
║ combination! ║
