Summon is an American band that was formed as early as 1991.
After the usual line-up problems and a temporary split of the band they set
down to record a demo in 1995 and this their first full-length album in 1996
which they released on their own. Something I really like about this band is
that they are not walking the same path as many other American black metal
bands who often sound like boring copies of the old Norwegian bands. Instead
Summon have incorporated nice clean melodic death metal influences in their
sound which makes them sound like a mix of Darkthrone and old Celtic Frost.
Unfortunately the song compositions are often a little bit too simple in their
nature and the production is in need of some, though not much, additional
work. This is however the first album from this Michigan based band and I
think they have done some pretty good work even though they have indeed
improved since their early days. It's hard to choose between love and hate as
it comes to the vocals of this band, all I can say is that they are powerful
and really make a lasting impression (sounds like a lipstick commercial
doesn't it...?). A decent first effort but there is more to come from this
American band. There is a raw, primal force in this recording that I really
like.
