Venator

Kinda disappointing

An interesting blend of industrial, djent, progressive metal and power metal. The vocals are epic and grandiose, there's string sections and horn sections that give the music a cinematic feel, the only thing keeping me from really being impressed is that this whole thing is very one dimensional.
I kept waiting for a guitar solo or a synth solo or even a different melody or a change in song structure, the only thing cool that happened was the final two tracks had some pretty sick Amon Amarth style growls but too little too late imo.

That's not to say it's bad, it just needs more. Or less? Something interesting.

That rushes from my eyes
Two titans breaking peace
They seek a grand feast"~
