Since 1996 these French blacksters have been working hard to take their music
to perfection and this is their second album for the native label Adipocere
Records. I have not heard any of the previous material from the band but what
I can tell you from listening to these 42 minutes of audial terrorism is that
they know their instruments well enough to compose decent black metal and
make it sound both tight and mature. Now we know that they have spent some
time rehearsing and practicing. So far, so good. The second thing a band
needs to come up with is interesting songs and at least something that
resembles an own identity. This is where Destinity tend to fail a little.
"Under The Smell Of Chaos" displays a band who have been heavily influenced
by the early Dimmu Borgir releases and although they don't copy them straight
off there is something missing to make them stand out from the many other
bands who share the same influences. Dimmu Borgir had something out of the
ordinary which was quickly noticed by major metal labels worldwide but this
is what is still missing with Destinity. A decent release but they need
something more to reach the next level.
