█ Presenting you a phenomenal super-group you that █
█ should absolutely not miss, here is ECHELON! █
█ █
█ The band is an international project, with some of █
█ the members based out of the United Kingdom, and █
█ some from Sweden. The thing about super-groups is █
█ that they can sound forced or simply bad, but the █
█ thing about ECHELON is that even though I have █
█ only come across them once before, I know, without █
█ even listening to the music, that this project █
█ contains some quality material made by members █
█ that have been in the genre long enough to know █
█ its bad and good sides. Basically, I should and I █
█ will call these guys veterans, because they really █
█ are. █
█ █
█ The group consists of the legendary Dave Ingram on █
█ vocals, known as the ex-vocalist of BENEDICTION, █
█ residing with the band from 1990 until 1998, and █
█ also known from his vocal duties on the 7th studio █
█ record by the sadly disbanded BOLT THROWER. A few █
█ other names he has appeared alongside with are █
█ JUST BEFORE DAWN and a currently active project █
█ called DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN. The group also █
█ features Rogga Johansson on guitars, and at only █
█ 40 years old, he has proven that heÆs a master of █
█ his instrument, being a part of seriously too many █
█ projects to even count - IÆll try highlighting a █
█ few in the honor of his playing skills; they are: █
█ DEMIURG, PUTREVORE, HUMANITY DELETE, MEGASCAVENGER █
█ etc. Kjetil Lynghaug on the other guitars is known █
█ from PAGANIZER and MORDENIAL, whilst the drummer, █
█ Travis Ruvo is known from AMONG THE DECAYED, █
█ CROPSY MANIAC, & WORMFOOD. Lastly, but not least █
█ importantly, the bass guitarist of the project is █
█ Johan Berglund, who might be familiar to some from █
█ his projects called THIS HAVEN and THE █
█ GROTESQUERY. █
█ █
█ In short, all these people pretty much know what █
█ they are doing, and them forming such a brutal █
█ project can only mean a good thing. They have █
█ released two full-length albums in less than 2 █
█ years time! Now thatÆs a thing I take my hat off █
█ to. The band has only been active since 2015, and █
█ in the very same year of their formation they █
█ released their debut full-length album ôIndulgence █
█ over Abstinence behind the Obsidian Veilö through █
█ Metal Inquisition Records. A bit more than a year █
█ later, Transcending Obscurity Records have brought █
█ forth their latest release ôThe Brimstone █
█ Aggrandizementö with 8 tracks of pure, old-school █
█ oriented, groovy yet raw, true to the roots Death █
█ Metal. If there is a super-group that truly █
█ deserves a listen, itÆs them. Do it. █
