The promising debut full-length by this Irish band. Across eight songs and an atmospheric intermission built entirely around viola, “Equation II: The Antithesis of Life and Free Will” explores different shades of melodic Death Metal, from the 280 BPM attack of “+Fear + Despair”to the old school Death Metal feel of “Self = Dark Side” and the doomy closing track “x Judgement”. Totally recommended to fans of the early works of In Flames, At The Gates, Arch Enemy, Soilwork…
