I have considered
Mephistopheles as one of the greatest melodic black metal band
from Germany
for a few years now, simply as they are great musicians, and that
reflects
itself in their albums! "Modern Instinct's Purity" is their 3rd outlet, and
is a
step further from their previous album "Songs of the Desolate Ones",
with more
technical performance and also more a death metal approach than the
usual black
metal with the clean vocals. They incorporate the melodies in a
sweet way, avoiding
the usual one-lined melodies, but give it more power and
heaviness in thick guitars
and rasping deep vocals. The variation has also
been maintained in most of the
material, doing a little of sweet choirs and
clean vocal performances, although I miss
from their previous album the very
clean vocals that pulled that one out from the
crowd of medium releases.
It
is nevertheless a good performance they show here. Although nothing new,
it's
well played and very professional as an album, that should satisfy the
lovers of
melodic black metal. Do not fail to check out the monsterriffs in
the albums best
and longest track "Bastard Blood's Prosperity" as well as
the bonus video on
the
CD!
