Descend may be the band that us Opeth fans have been looking for all these years. This is an album that is truly remarkable. A faithful continuation of Opeth’s formula all while keeping updated with the meta of twenty years of progressive death metal.
Small text to lure people into reading the review.
Is it death metal? Questionable. But it is an exceptional progressive metal release nonetheless.
I hate metalcore – why do I like this?
Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.
An interesting and unique blend of Melodeath and Traditional Middle Eastern Music
The template is awesome, but they come back to it an awful lot.
Some parts can make you say “that’s it?”, yet the keyboards and overall flow have a way of tying things together.
