release notes:
Dead Twilight is an experienced & skilled death metal formation from
Italy. Current line-up consists of just two members, or should I say two
brothers, Marco Bellante (all growl & guttural vocals) & Luca Bellante
(all guitars, bass, drums programing & scream vocals). They have been
playing around for almost two decades, and it clearly shows on their new
opus entitled Fall Of Humanity.
Released five years apart, their first two albums, 2015 debut album
Endless Torment and its 2020 follow-up About The Prophecy, had a more
straightforward approach, combining slow doomish segments with more
typical death metal intense blast beat parts. Both albums, despite of
their undisputed quality, somehow sounded similar. Fall Of Humanity is
their third full-length album, and first under the French label Great
Dane Records. At first, this new eight-tracker caught my attention mainly
due to its fantastic eye-catching cover artwork. After putting it into my
CD-player I got further convinced that we're dealing here with slightly
different approach, esp. when it comes to the song-writing. In other
words; on Fall Of Humanity they still maintain to preserve their basic
trademark style, but this time by adding a few more different elements,
and also in the aforementioned song-writing department. The songs are
simply better constructed and more varied too. It feels as if the two
brothers were more relaxed and confident while while the recording
process took place this time around. There are a lot of memorable riffs,
numerous interesting tempo shifts and Marco's probably best vocal
performance to date.
Another thing worth of applauding, and showing strong approval, for the
band for is the 'coherent' nature of this album. All eight tracks go by
at high speed, but still there's this certain homogeneity throughout the
album, keeping all the tracks together with this natural flow. The only
exception is the closing track called "B╨╛╨╕╨╜╨░" (translates as 'War' from
Russian). "B╨╛╨╕╨╜╨░" is slightly longer than the other tracks, with a slower
more menacing style. A great way to end this quick journey through Fall
Of Humanity.
The production is well balanced (not too polished or over-produced!) in
the mix and with every instrument and every aspect of their sound equally
highlighted. There's a good amount of '90s atmosphere, which gives
another dimension to this already old-school record.
Due to the short nature of the songs (eight tracks and 27 minutes of
duration), and of the album, there is no moment whatsoever of dullness.
Fall Of Humanity is a quick and ferocious blast of aggressive metal that
leaves no doubt that the duo is playing at the top of their game. This is
a piece of raw, traditional, classic and uncompromising death metal sonic
massacre, esp. recommended for fans of early Morbid Angel, Vader, Hate
Eternal, Incantation, Nile and similar old-fashioned/traditional/classic
death metal giants.
