Greek symphonic extreme metallers W.E.B. embrace an ambitious obscure sonic vision within the convoluted soundscapes of the fifth full-length “Colosseum”.
An endless darkness is destined to triumph on “Dark Web” as decadent symphonic tapestries surround the malignant rhythmic rampage and the merciless growls while the lead guitar work will evoke grim feelings with a brief tasteful melodic breakdown.
“Murder Of Crows” shifts the focus to a poetic melodic essence as guitars carefully craft melancholic progressions enhanced by refined atmospheric arrangements yet the mighty rhythmic section is ready to unleash faster punishing blasts.
The title track begins with slow burning guitar phrases and theatrical vocals inevitably conveying a sinister mood and the solemn symphonic elements continue to embellish the inflamed rhythmic ensemble and the lavish melodies.
Something evil lurks in the dark as “Dominus Maleficarum” immediately manifests a venomous rhythmic approach highlighting the menacing blackened influences of the soaring guitars enriched by the darkly majestic atmospheric layers.
“Exaudi Luciferi” would be a perfect horror movie soundtrack relying on riveting symphonic orchestrations, creepy narratives and a slower ominous tempo that constantly amplifies a fascinating dramatic depth.
Throughout the intricate sonic realm of the new album “Colosseum” W.E.B. are developing an intriguing formula that seamlessly blends ferocious blackened dynamics and captivating symphonic grandeur.
