Minneapolis, usa deathcore band Synestia have unleashed their latest single 'the mourning star' featuring blake mullens (disembodied tyrant) onto the masses. if you like heavy music
this is one for you.
"Blending the relentless intensity of deathcore with the grandeur of symphonic orchestration, Synestia presents a sound that is as crushing as it is melodic and atmospheric." - via spotify.
From the very beginning of this track it is relentless with drum work so intense it takes a second for the mind to catch up, tension building sound effects, orchestral music,
imposing choir work, scaling riffs and vocal gymnastics on an Olympic level. "Stand up, Up to your evil born worth, Spawn to the killer to banish the sin, A reason calling home."
The break down in this track is so intense it will have you pulling a stank face from the barrage of blast beats, which at times almost sound like machine gun fire, that are coming your way.
(There saw she direst strife; the supreme God At war with all the frailty of grief Of rage, of fear, revenge Remorse, spleen, hope, but most of all, despair Against these plagues he strove in vain) Lucid warmth took your breath A fine sight to see Day trippers’ game at play (Bring your fate) I left it to God He said to break your fucking face Descend marred upon me
the use of silence in this song is top tier and is by far louder than any instrument used throughout the four minutes and eighteen seconds. There is one point where vocalist Ryan does an effect on his voice that I could only describe as goblin Dani filth. it is so unnerving that on the first listen of this track I actually paused the song and had a whole body shiver. all in all there is no denying that these boys know how to play their dang instruments and it will keep you hooked from the very first note. "Until we rest in place In wake of the, mourning star, Through Hell, I shall enter."
