Arcanum XIII is a new band from Brazil that features several
members who used to be in Serpent Rises. When seeing the album cover, lyrics
and song titles for this album I expected either a black metal or a death
metal band but I was a little surprised to say the least when listening to the
music. This is a weird mix of orchestral music, piano melodies, spoken verse
and lousy pop ballads that will probably not be appreciated by many metal
fans. These guys are probably good musicians but this kind of music I just
can't learn to appreciate no matter how hard I try. The band has stated that
their new material is to be more aggressive and with the incorporation of
black metal parts they hope to gain more attention in the metal world. I can
only hope for the best and perhaps their next release will be a bit more
daring because this one is really boring. Some of the orchestral parts sound
pretty good though and perhaps black metal is what they are most suited for.
Let's just wait and see what they are capable of in the
future.
