Athenaeum Of Sin Reviews

As soon as you hit that play button, where one is welcome to the opening piece, Slave Or Death. The song welcomes the listener to aggressive-melodic instrumentation and soaring growling opening… an opening cutting out any fancy intro and into your-face attitude.

As one continues their journey with the second piece, Who Rules The World, and the seven remaining pieces. …Still At Large is a powerful release, taking the influence of 80s thrash and 90s death metal.

— yes, this album is a powerhouse release; something should be played loud, and none of the tracks skipped… …this beast will enslave your ears and soul… …blow your mind and speakers….

Continuing with the review, I must say that the quality of this piece’s production is exceptional. Every note, beat, tone, and chord comes through crystal clarity and precision, creating an immersive listening experience for the audience. Furthermore, the artful composition of the songwriting, music, and instrumentation is nothing short of this fruit of art, with an undeniable devilish charm that elevates the entire piece to new heights of perfection.

The instrumentation of this particular musical piece is genuinely remarkable and delivered by this fruit of art-devilmanship. It features a fast-paced assault of pure slamming and aggressive instrumental composition anchored by a stunning twin guitar performance. The soaring melodic chords and shredding riffs are perfectly complemented by a nice rhythm and groove that keeps the listener hooked.

The drum work in this piece is equally impressive, consisting of a brutal and heavy aural battering of the drums.

The drummer has skillfully incorporated various fills, beats, and patterns that add depth and dimension to the overall sound. At the same time, the bass is an integral part of this piece, providing a brutal and groove foundation that ties everything together. The bassist has done an excellent job of creating a sonic landscape that perfectly complements the other instruments and helps to create an immersive listening experience.

Lastly, the vocals are exceptional, characterized by their ferocity and intensity. They possess an incredible power that allows them to slice through the music like a hot knife through butter, leaving a lasting impact on the listener.

It’s worth mentioning that the lyrics of Imperial Slave and their album cover art resemble the legendary heavy metal band Megadeth. Both bands have a similar theme of social commentary, rebellion, and a critique of the status quo in their song lyrics. However, Imperial Slave has its unique take on these themes and presents them through its distinct musical style. Despite the similarities, Imperial Slave stands out as a band unapologetically true to themselves and their creative vision.

Overall, …Still At Large is a must-listen for any melodic, thrashy, and death metal fan. The music is fast-paced, brutal, and heavy as hell and will make you want to headbang. Don’t miss out on this one!

The album comes to an end with the last two songs, Blood Moon Sonata and Priestiality. Blood Moon Sonata is a cover version of Beethoven‘s Moonlight Sonata Number 14, breaking away from the aggressive tone and featuring a melancholic guitar lead, accompanied by a piano instrumental. The album concludes with a six-minute piece, Priestiality, which begins with an acoustic Arabian Night-style introduction before transitioning into a complex and aggressive piece, with a brief atmospheric interlude closure.
