Izegrim are a band from the Netherlands that has been featured before in this zine with a musical style i would describe as being melodic death/thrash metal and this is a review of their 2013 album "Congress Of the Line" which was released by Listenable Records.
"Relic Of The Past" begins with some heavy guitar riffs and drums and then goes into a death/thrash direction along with some deep death metal growls and high pitched screams and a minute later there is a brief use of melodic guitar leads that come in and out which leads to some blast beats and then the song starts switching back and forth between slow and mid paced parts.
"Decline And Fall" begins with fast drums, heavy guitar riffs and high pitched screams and then the song starts switching back and forth between mid paced and slow parts as well as adding in some slower riffing in certain sections of the song.
"Celebrity Gunfire" begins with some fast guitar riffs, blast beats and high pitched screams before going into a direction that includes mostly slow and mid paced parts while also speeding up in certain sections and after a couple of minutes melodic guitar solos and leads start coming in and out of the song.
"Endless Strife" begins with some heavy and melodic guitar riffs along with some drums which then lead to some screams and a minute later guitar solos and leads start coming in and out and towards the end there is a brief use of growls being utilized.
"Deterioration From Perfection" begins with some blast beats, fast guitar riffs and screams before slowing down and adding in some growls which leads to the song switching back and forth between slow and fast parts and towards the end there is a brief use of guitar solos and leads.
"Unchallenged Dominance" begins with some melodic guitar riffs, drums and screams and after awhile the song starts adding in some blast beats for a few seconds as well as some powerful bass guitars.
"Modern Day Freak" begins with some circus samples before going into heavy guitar riffs and drums which also utilize some blast beats and then the screams and growls start kicking in and a couple of minutes later melodic guitar solos and leads come into the song for a few seconds.
"The Legion' begins with some heavy and melodic guitar riffs along with some drums and high pitched screams and deep growls and then the song starts speeding up and adds in some blast beats and towards the end there are some guitar solos and leads being utilized briefly.
"Carousel Of Death" begins with some heavy guitar riffs, drums and high pitched screams and after awhile t here is a brief use of melodic guitar riffing as well as some leads and solos being utilized.
"Manifest of a Megalomaniac" begins with some thrash style guitar riffs which leads to some drums, growls and screams and then the song starts switching back and forth between slow and mid paced parts.
"Carnival Of Deception" begins with some heavy guitar riffs and drums and some melodic guitar leads start kicking in and out a few seconds later and then the screams and growls start kicking in as well as some powerful bass guitars along with some spoken word parts being utilized briefly
Song lyrics are a concept based on the evil in the deceiving human nature, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound to it.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Izegrim and if you are a fan of this band, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Relic Of The Past" "Endless Strife" "Carousel Of Death" and "Carnival Of Deception". RECOMMENDED BUY.
