With their latest record Italian lunies Ephel Duath take one further step in what I think is the right direction. With a fuller production than previously, the new creation sounds like an Opethy approach to Mr. Bungle/The Dillinger Escape Plan/etc. Needless to say the music is anything but linear, taking you through neverending twists and turns. When most bands try this, the result is crap, but there are a few exceptions, and with this album Ephel Duath is definitely one of them. While their previous album "The painters palette" was interesting but unsolid, they now keep their shit together all the way through, and I don't really have any complaints. I would perhaps have enjoyed a more brutal vocalist, the straight off hardcore vocals by Luciano Larusso George do the job, but a little more grimness rather than teenage dispair would do the trick for me. If you're a fan of metal and Mr. Bungle type music, this record will surely give you what you're looking for. A damn fine creation, and it would have been on my top ten list of last years' (2005) releases if I had heard it in time.
