Monsterworks/Album Of Man/Mortal Music/2013 CD Review


  Monsterworks  are  a  band  from  the  U.K  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  with  a  musical style  that  combines  thrash,  power  and  death  metal  together  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Album  Of  Man"  which  was  released  by  Mortal  Music.

  Drums  range  from  slow, mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  thrash,  power  and  death  metal  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  along  with  some  melody,  grunge  and  progressive  influences  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  modern  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads  along  with  some  classic  rock/metal  influences,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  add  more  progressive  elements  to  the  recording.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  vocals,  thrash  style  singing,  and  clean  singing  power  metal  vocals  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  samples,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  philosophical  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful, heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on t his  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Monsterworks  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "It's  Alive"  "All  Suns  Die"  "Taste  Of  Doom"  and  "Being  Human".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
