│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ MYSTIC PROPHECY is back for their tenth studio album to be ║ │
│║ released Jan. 10, 2020. Be ready for it, especially if ║ │
│║ youÆre a fan of traditional Metal. This band has put years ║ │
│║ of work into their craft and from the varied instrumentals ║ │
│║ and tight music, it shows. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album begins with ôMetal Division,ö a fist-pumping ║ │
│║ anthem which drum rolls into an intense guitar melody with ║ │
│║ siren ambiance. The music is tight, and the vocals are ║ │
│║ impressive. While theyÆre not clear on this track, the ║ │
│║ gravel gives the singer some character. The guitar solo ║ │
│║ begins with rousing chants and leads into an anthemic solo ║ │
│║ peppered with guitar sweeps that increase in frequency as ║ │
│║ the song rolls on. ItÆs a promising start to an intense, ║ │
│║ hard-hitting album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While the tracks are mainly mid-tempo to fast, theyÆre ║ │
│║ varied throughout the album well. The opening track is ║ │
│║ followed by ôEye to Eyeö which features faster melodies and ║ │
│║ an uplifting chorus. That song is followed by a much ║ │
│║ tighter, more anthemic mid-tempo number, ôHail to the ║ │
│║ King.ö The guitar solo in the latter track is a good play ║ │
│║ on the main melody but keeps the steady pace of the song. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôHere Comes the Winterö is my favorite track on the album. ║ │
│║ The intro features beautiful acoustic melodies. The chorus ║ │
│║ and refrain are wonderfully intense and the variety in temp ║ │
│║ keeps this song moving. The ambiance gives the song ║ │
│║ character and the arpeggio sweeps in the guitar solo are a ║ │
│║ delight for the ears. It treats the listener to the full-on ║ │
│║ talent of the vocalist in the first verse, where he doesnÆt ║ │
│║ use gravelly tones and instead, utilizes clear, operatic ║ │
│║ vocals which show his versatility. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ However, the vocal quality in that song doesnÆt do any ║ │
│║ favors for later tracks, especially when the singer is too ║ │
│║ gravelly. ôDraculaö is an example. It has a solid, hooky ║ │
│║ riff that sticks the song in your head. They complicate the ║ │
│║ instrumentals with some ambient bells and whistles. ║ │
│║ However, the vocals sound too coarse and damper the song. ║ │
│║ Also, in a few songs, the instrumentals can become too ║ │
│║ electronic for their overall style, putting the music into ║ │
│║ videogame-sounding territory. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôVictory Is Mineö begins with high-pitched sweeps ║ │
│║ juxtaposed against lower, muddier rhythm guitars. The ║ │
│║ sweeps in this track are really pronounced, especially in ║ │
│║ the solo when they jut ahead of the other instrumentals. ║ │
│║ The vocals rein in the gravel like they did in the opening ║ │
│║ track, showcasing good projection and character. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Overall, the album is a solid track for fans of the heavier ║ │
│║ side of traditional Metal. However, a few items hold it ║ │
│║ back from being great. Mainly, the vocals can become too ║ │
│║ gravelly in some songs, and the instrumentals can sound too ║ │
│║ artificial on a couple tracks. However, these criticisms ║ │
│║ only appeared on a few tracks, and the rest of album is ║ │
│║ good. In particular, I want to hear more progressive, ║ │
│║ conceptual tracks like ôHere Comes the Winterö from this ║ │
│║ band in the future. That song in particular showed off the ║ │
│║ full potential of the band. ║ │
