Whoa, that's some heavy stuff that the Norwegians of EXTOL present us with... Wes had reviewed this album more than 1,5 years ago already and only now it gets released via a big label, must be frustrating for a musician, but well, that's "business"┘
Who searches for a CD that hits at the first time, can completely forget EXTOL, because "Undeceived" takes a few rotations to get into, because the mix that this quintet is playing is not really easily digestible. Basically you could put them into the Death Metal-category, but this band is a lot more and I'll try to bring this to screen.

Take the heaviness of traditional Death Metal and combine it with the emotional variety of OPETH, partly the a bit abstract song-structures of MESHUGGAH, a good portion of melodies and some violin, clean vocals (with a few elements could be seen as slight Power Metal-influence) are in the mix, too. Everything clear? OK, because it takes a while before this piece gets clearer.

The instrumental talents of the musicians are, and I can say this without exaggeration, phenomenal. The performance of drummer David Husvik alone lets the chin drop to my knees even with a non-musician as myself, but also the rest is brilliant! The art of this style is to keep the songs accessible still and mostly this is the problem here, some of the structures are pretty far out and make it pretty difficult for the listener to find his way inside.

Still, the mix is what makes it and that one really has something going, the songs never get boring, even though a few break the 6- and even 7-minute-barrier. You just have to take your time and give it to the CD, to be able to grasp this demanding music, because then you'll be rewarded with an extraordinary and very good album.

Oh yes, two bonus-tracks can be found towards the end as well, the "Paralysis"-single from 2001, only released in Sweden. The last track, "Shadow Of Death", is a cover-version of Thrashers BELIEVER, if anybody knows them┘

So, all, who can deal with more complex music within Death Metal, let this record melt in your ears for a while, but like said, take some time, yet it is worth it...

Спасибо. Возьму. Возможно только для коллекции, потому что хотя я и перешёл сейчас в основном на христианскую экстремальную музыку, и по этой группе я пробежался на предмет оценки, стоит ли покупать её диски, в самую первую очередь - тем не менее поздний Extol мне не очень пошёл... Может и правда, как пишет ревьюер, нужно не один раз прослушать, чтобы въехать? :dunno: Попробую прослушать не один раз... :)

Это значит ты не против что мы вторглись на твою территорию :) . Случайно получилось. Я правда прекратил поддержку уже, но там несколько достойных с маднеса уже должны были скачать.

Ну ты прям как скажешь... Моя территория... :laugh: А вообще я уже скачал. Я правда уже и забыл, как это у меня раньше бывало - уже даным-давно ничего из музыки не качал - но в этот раз, чтобы скачать, мне пришлось 2 гига отдать... :fear2:
