│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Compared to other bands in the classic metal ║ │
│║ revivalist movement, Cauldron has never been shy ║ │
│║ about their sleazier influences. The Toronto ║ │
│║ trio made it clear with their cover of Black æn ║ │
│║ BlueÆs ôChains Around Heavenö on their 2009 ║ │
│║ debut, and each subsequent effort inches closer ║ │
│║ to perfect accessibility. 2016Æs In Ruin was an ║ │
│║ excellent balance of heavy and catchy, making ║ │
│║ one wonder how itÆll turn out when the groupÆs ║ │
│║ fifth full-length promises to go even further ║ │
│║ into the latter. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ For what itÆs worth, Cauldron pulls this style ║ │
│║ off pretty well. The guitar preserves the icy ║ │
│║ tone of past outings and the band has had a ║ │
│║ flair for 80s-style reverb in their productions ║ │
│║ since the early days, so they certainly had a ║ │
│║ solid foundation to work with. Most of the ║ │
│║ polish went into bassist/vocalist Jason DecayÆs ║ │
│║ performance. His bass sounds cleaner and his ║ │
│║ singing seems more composed while still boasting ║ │
│║ that somewhat nasally delivery. IÆm not sure if ║ │
│║ he underwent any training between albums, but ║ │
│║ itÆs clear that a more concentrated effort was ║ │
│║ made to make his voice more palatable. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The songwriting also does a pretty good job of ║ │
│║ building off what the band had done before to ║ │
│║ achieve a more accessible vision. ôLetting Goö ║ │
│║ was a great single choice, but ôTogether as ║ │
│║ Noneö is easily the albumÆs most stellar moment. ║ │
│║ The upbeat chug in conjunction with the ║ │
│║ infectious chorus makes for an anthem that the ║ │
│║ guys in Dokken would kick themselves for not ║ │
│║ having written first. ItÆs the one song on here ║ │
│║ that I could see being an honest to gods hit ║ │
│║ back in the day. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But for an old school party metal album, New ║ │
│║ Gods does feel a little too slow in parts. Songs ║ │
│║ like ôPrisoner of the Pastö and ôNo Longerö are ║ │
│║ well written but feel rather stilted when the ║ │
│║ guitars are relegated to open chords and set to ║ │
│║ such sluggish drum beats. ôDrownö and ôLast ║ │
│║ Requestö bring in some energy bursts but their ║ │
│║ placement toward the albumÆs end does somewhat ║ │
│║ diminish the impact. IÆm sure a revamped track ║ │
│║ listing would make for a more energetic listen, ║ │
│║ but it would still feel rather stiff overall. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In Ruin may have been the most ideal execution ║ │
│║ of CauldronÆs sleazy take on classic metal, but ║ │
│║ New Gods never goes off the deep end. The style ║ │
│║ never feels watered down and the songwriting is ║ │
│║ pleasant enough to make even the lesser songs ║ │
│║ enjoyable. If youÆd listened to the band before ║ │
│║ and were put off by the vocals, this may be a ║ │
│║ good time to reconsider them. Also guaranteed to ║ │
│║ be better than anything that the old glam guard ║ │
│║ will release this year. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Highlights: ║ │
│║ ôLetting Goö ║ │
│║ ôDrownö ║ │
│║ ôTogether as Noneö ║ │
