+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| One thing that should be understood about Calgary - we love our |
| technicality in metal, the sheer amount of progressive influenced |
| metal being made in this city is some good evidence of this. So what |
| makes Divinity stand out above the others? Why were they given the |
| big record deal with Nuclear Blast some years ago, instead of so |
| many other regional acts? A theory I've been playing with after |
| hearing this album is that they are to Calgary what Black Sabbath |
| were to Birmingham. Not to compare Divinity to the highly revered |
| Black Sabbath quality wise, but rather they are the best |
| representative of the culture here - or lack thereof. I guess you |
| could say Divinity are a pure product of their environment. |
| |
| So how does Divinity reflect Calgary? Well, let's face it - this |
| town has no culture, it's all about big business and the oil |
| industry; there is little to no attention paid to the arts. |
| Divinity's music works the same way; it's cold, calculated, precise |
| technical thrash metal fuelled by pure aggression with a touch of |
| desperation brought on by the vocals. The best way to describe the |
| music is just to picture a more violent Gojira, throw in a small |
| dose of metalcore, remove the hippie mumbo-jumbo lyrics, and expect |
| next to no tranquil moments within the 45 minute play time. |
| |
| Compared to their debut, Allegory, vast improvements have been made. |
| The first (and most notable), being the break-neck time changes have |
| been smoothed out; while they are still present, the music doesn't |
| bring your brain to a screeching halt like it previously did. The |
| vocals really do a great job of being part of the music rather than |
| layered over top, they really help tie many of these sections |
| together, giving the whole thing a bit more feeling of solidity. |
| |
| The complaints, few as they are, go along with pretty much any music |
| of this kind. As previously mentioned The Singularity rarely lets |
| down, so unless you're ready for an unrelenting 45 minute assault, |
| this can get tiring. Also, as with any uber-technical metal, taking |
| 45 minutes of ever-shifting time signatures can be a wee bit |
| uncomfortable (for lack of a better word). It's the sonic equivalent |
| of accidentally putting your undies on backwards - you've all done |
| it, and you all know the feeling, don't lie. |
| |
| This is a great album for fans of this genre above anything else; if |
| bands like Gojira and Meshuggah don't do it for you, this album will |
| probably be no exception. However, if you enjoy displays of |
| technical prowess with nice pockets of groove thrown in, I highly |
| recommend this. |
