REVIEW: Burden Of Grief - On Darker Trails Massacre Records, 2001
8/10
Burden Of Grief - On Darker Trails - cover art Do you like the melodic masterpieces from bands like Dark Tranquillity and In Flames but would want the music to be more fierce and aggressive? If you do then the new album from the German death metal band Burden Of Grief will be most satisfying for you. As seen below the last track of the album is a cover version of Metallica's old classic "Master Of Puppets" which shows pretty nicely what the rest of the songs are like: fast, furious but still very melodic and occasionally slower. The vocals are fairly strong but on "Master Of Puppets" it really shows that the vocalist is no James Hetfield. Burden Of Grief is one of the most interesting bands on Massacre Records at the moment and this is one of the best melodic death metal albums I've heard in a while. There are quite a few bands in this genre out there today but only a few of them manage to create music of this high quality. Considering that this is only their second label release so far we should hear more from Burden Of Grief in the future.
