A Rising Chapter, Inanimate: This review will evaluate every aspect of the album, from its intricate musical composition to its production. Our analysis will provide valuable insights to help you determine if this album is worth adding to your collection.
The First Three Sins of Inanimate
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of A Rising Chapter and their Inanimate album.
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Consists of clean (melodic) warm riffs that alternate with progressive shredding, catchy and partly harmonious melodies, and impulsive breakdowns, the full-throttle rhythmic. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves aggressive snarling and deep-guttural vocal work. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Aural battering of the drums with extra (impulsive) snare inhaled with arsenal batting of blast-beats into the music.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion: Special mix of brutal deathcore with catchy and partly harmonious melodies
Immediately after pressing the play button, the listener is welcome to the opening piece, Inanimate, and the five remaining pieces. The music drags your soul from your very own essence and drowns your eardrums with heavy, brutal, barbaric music.
One embarks on their journey with the second song, Black Hole, and the remaining four pieces. The listener will find that A Rising Chapter stands out among the flood of brutal metal bands in the metal world with its music, sound, and atmosphere.
At the same time, while the listener injects Inanimate music into their soul, the listener will encounter this brutal-magical headbanging delight of creating a unique mix of brutal deathcore with added melodic death metal into their musical spectrum. The sheer brute force of extreme metal injects various compositions/characteristics within their musical spectrum, where each is convenient to place at the right moment. For example, multiple tones, tempos, moods, and atmospheres consist of creativity of pure fantastic instrumental and vocal devilmanship.
Additional symphonic/orchestral inserts—can be found, either as an intro or embedding in the background that’s delivered and provided by fruit of art devilmanship; this also includes (all done by the band) the rearrangements, publication, and composition of the musical score and instrumentation work.
A Rising Chapter has created something complex/-Esque avant-garde heavy, brutal, and pure headbanging, where each song is different -does not sound the same -neither repetitive nor dull.
The album comes to an end with the last song, Never Forgotten Ones. We want to give a shoutout to GlobMetal for letting us review A Rising Chapter and their Inanimate album. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.

PlayThe last Three Sins
Let’s discuss the last three sins, our thoughts on A Rising Chapter and their Inanimate album.
The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia: Is that for us, two key factors that are memorability and deserve mention are the swift changes within each song (not sounding the same) -whether it’s the vocal, riffs, drum, or the added synths, tempo, mood, etc.—simultaneously, the timing couldn’t be better.
The next memorability and mention is track two, Black Hole. Listen to this beast and that second track: the intense and impulsive breakdowns, the heavy snare and beats, air fist-pumping, synth sections, and the vocals… the sound that will blow your speakers, ears, and brain—oh yeah, probably break your neck and spinal cord in two.
The Sixth Sin, The Artwork:
The artwork is dark and if one is walking through the music…
The Seventh Sin, Disrelish:
Nothing to disrelish within the musical spectrum of A Rising Chapter, and their album Inanimate.
