VORAX is a Death Metal band from Switzerland that I had
absolutely no knowledge of. I see they have been making
music since 2020 and debuted with the EP titled
"Jurassic Dawn" in 2022. An EP that contained four songs
and showed a band with a somewhat "modern" sound for my
taste, but after listening to it more calmly, I accept
it without a problem. The band tackles a very
interesting theme, always revolving around dinosaurs,
prehistoric eras, natural cataclysms and mass
extinctions. Now it is the turn of this, their first
full-length, titled "Volcano Shock", an album that keeps
both lines: the sound and the lyrical in the same
grounds. However, it seems to me that this album,
"Volcano Shock", already shows a more solid, more
structured band, with songs a bit more circumscribed
within the framework of various classic Metal styles,
without straying from that Metal they played on their
2022 EP. I really liked songs like 'Volcano Shock', a
very martial song that took me in some parts to CELTIC
FROST. 'Burning Lava' is a song that precisely
exemplifies very well what I say about the look towards
more classic Metal. It has a very rich melodic component
and a very exquisite guitar solo at the end. And 'The
Great Dying', the closing track. A track that, while
maintaining that style I talk about, brings back a bit
of the Heavy Metal atmosphere and by far, makes it my
favorite song on the album. It must be mentioned that
the band has a very experienced line-up and that gives
them a lot of authority when proposing and executing
their music.
Not to be confused with other bands with same name.
