Edge Of Attack/Self Titled/Spread The Metal Records/2013 CD Review


  Edge  Of  Attack  are  a  band  from  Alberta,  Canada  that  plays  a  mixture  of  power,  thrash,  symphonic  and  melodic  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  titled  2013  album  which  was released  by  Spread  The  Metal  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while the  keyboards  bring  a  very  atmospheric,  progressive, and  symphonic  sound  to  the  music,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to fast  riffs  that  combine  power,  thrash,  symphonic  and  melodic  death  metal  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own,  while  the  lead  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  are  very  melodic  sounding  power  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  classical  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  bring  some  darkness  to  the  music.

  Vocals  are  mostly  clean  singing  female  power  metal  vocals  with  some  deep  death  metal  growls  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  occult  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  to  it   with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Edge  Of  Attack are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  power,  thrash,  symphonic  and melodic  death  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "In  Hell"  "Demon  (Of  The  Northern  Seas)"  "Edge  Of  Attack"  and  "The  Damned".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
