Brought together through the power of social media and a
decommissioned pharmacy turned rehearsal space, Italian
band New Sun set about developing a sound not
necessarily bound by genre restrictions. The members
possess seasoning in previous death, black, thrash, folk
and nu metal to even glam and groove bands - so it makes
sense on Hanged's Fate, the group's debut album, to
expect a wide array of textures thrown into this sonic
platform. As a result, this six-song effort contains a
veritable kitchen sink approach with loads of intense
grooves, heavy vocals, and this progressive nature
amidst the decades of influences at play.
Thick rhythms sit in this staccato-oriented mold a la
classic Machine Head, Trivium, and Lamb of God - yet
often the swift transitions allow the musicianship to
elevate the proceedings into death, blackened, and
progressive waters. Bassist Mattia 'Basserker' Zanella
comfortably garners worthy sequences of moody highlight
status - be it in the beginning instrumental measure of
the epic eight-minute plus "New Sun" or more progressive
Tool/Iron Maiden-like low-end lines throughout closer
"Drag Me Down". Stunted riffs mirror the chaotic vocals
of Marco Munari within "Higher God" - a transformative
track where its melodic death / groove musical
components blossom with tremolo adornments and a
galloping, tempo shift-oriented nature that should get
followers bouncing. A surprising comfort level exists
between these musicians right from the start - where
they know when to let certain parts breathe and lock
into others for this unified cohesion which explodes
upon impact, even in the gang-like vocal spirit
penetrating "Create My Empire" a la Gojira or classic
Slipknot. Exploring the human condition and going
through struggles to come out stronger in rebirth is a
welcoming theme for these lyrics sure to resonate with
all listeners.
New Sun comes out swinging in a potent manner for
Hanged's Fate. It's equally heavy, progressively forward
thinking, while remembering to throw down a bevy of
musical hooks designed for maximum headbanging. A fine
start with a group who will get decent recognition if
given the opportunity to play in front of the right
crowds for bigger exposure.
