Hi guys! Happy to get back to you 🙂
Today I brought some good metal music for your ears. Here is Dissenting Minds — post / death metal band from Athens, Greece, and the song “Arcane Shadow”. If you’re not really into heavy music, and you only hear some random screams and noises here, then I will authoritatively declare: “This is good metal music”. Now you can turn it off and continue to listen to your (name your genre) playlist on Spotify 😉 The rest of the people — let’s dive right in!
First of all, I’d like to notice that nice mix of post-metal and death metal in this song (and even a bit of black metal sometimes). It’s in perfect balance between melodic and heaviness (at least in my opinion). The atmosphere and style overall slightly reminds me of Gojira, which is definitely a compliment from my side, because I am a big fan of Gojira. I think that those melodic guitar parts have black metal roots. Just imagine the same guitar melodies, but with blast beat and bm vocals…hmm…in my head sounds exactly like progressive black metal.
Really, the track has some incredibly delicate balance of musical styles. You know, it’s like a cocktail made by an experienced barman. You should know exactly how much each of the ingredients should go into the shot. If the balance will be lost, then the taste will be skewed. But this music created by a good “barmen”, so the taste is perfect. Excuse me for my stupid metaphors. I just feel it in this way. Enjoy.
