Review: No Living Witness – Cosmic Simulacra

A very unique, genre-bending take on black/death.

An ambitious release, with no drought of classic progressive metal tropes.

A pummeling tech death offering with a cool dissonant twist.

A progressive death offering that just doesn’t hit the mark.

Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.

An enjoyable “instrumetal” album that manages to avoid most of the common traps of the genre.

A killer Touhou metal record that shows off exceptional musical creativity while still retaining the best parts of the original tracks.

Detailed rhythms highlighting shreddy, intense crescendos with keyboard acrobatics for energy in standard-but-not-standard prog metal.

I won’t mince words… This is bad.

Fun mix of some more classic Metalcore with the busier more melodic pieces of modern Deathcore.
