Alternative metal sensation Entheos promises strong hooks and elaborate performances on the new ambitious release “Empty On The Inside”.
“Hell is A Part of Me” skillfully combines heaviness & catchiness so meticulous guitars immediately deliver complex technical progressions amplified by super aggressive screams in contrast with the sophisticated harmonious passages complemented by luminous clean vocals.
Without hesitating the title track hits you in the face with a hostile rhythmic core fueled by unstoppable blistering guitar riffs cutting through gelid atmospheric synths.
“Golden Crown” reveals a vulnerable side through the ethereal vocal delivery and the bittersweet melodic lines that inevitably will evolve into another round of visceral guitar driven grooves.
“Undone” presents a dystopian atmospheric world where comforting vocals remain at the center of an edgy rhythmic ensemble embellished by multilayered futuristic synths and pale melodic tapestries.
Featuring guest vocalist Michael Lessard of The Contortionist, “Tomblight” can still pack a vicious rhythmic assault but really surprises you with a captivating mix of warm melodic nuances and polished proggy textures.
“The Earth Will Move” shifts to a mellow pace focusing on eloquent clean vocals aptly accompanied by sorrowful melodies but a raging rhythmic section eventually will dictate extra speed and undiluted fury.
A fiery darkness runs through “Empty on the Inside” as Entheos sincerely express an intense emotional turmoil though a modern songwriting approach that also channels the raw energy of traditional extreme metal.
