Review: Listening to Reincarnated
for the first time is like stepping in a familiar warm
black metal bath, with lots of Swedish elements and a
production that's not bad for this kind of (subsub)style
and musical skills that are pretty good; Al Hazred has a
history in Melechesh so that's not too difficult to
understand. Looking at the cover I had expected a lot
more death metal influences, to be honest, but luckily
this was not the case (a bit of thrash there is
though)... However, the bath is only lukewarm. After
listening to the promo CD the first time around 2006, I
filed it in my "Dutch black metal" archives to
(almost) never listen to again. Surely, that's not a good
sign! For this review I pulled it out once more and
rediscovered all the things I had heard the first time,
including the fact that it failed to pull me in and left
no impression at all. Moody parts are just melodic,
aggressive parts are just fast, and the guitar solo's are
only just there; it's possibly too well rehearsed and it
lacks spontaneity. Sure, I have heard worse things, but
some of those I still remember all too well. This I had
pretty much forgotten...
