Impiety - Worshippers Of The Seventh Tyranny
On their seventh studio album, black thrash band Impiety make a plunge into experimental territory. 'Worshippers Of The Seventh Tyranny' is a single track on this album, clocking past thirty minutes. It is a tad shorter than their other albums which tend to be around forty and a good spread of eight to nine tracks, but for those who feel that the band might tend to bore them with one track are surely wrong. It's still thrash, black, and death metal, but very slooww... almost now turning towards doom metal. The track chugs, moans, and thrashes its way through some very fuzzy riffs that each shift from style to style. One moment it is thick, slow chugs like death metal, then fast tremolo pickings of black metal, and then long, static ambient passages with floating keyboards (supposedly) that tend to hang forever in the atmosphere. The vocals have a throaty roar to them that can be heard most of the time, except when things are going in full force. It is best to hear them when the doomy parts are going on in their echoing, psychedellic formations of distortion.
Funeral doom listeners will find the epic length of a single track very easy to get to used to. For those who are more used to shorter ones may take some time and getting used to this, but the track changes pace and tone so it still feels like many. However, a lot of sound moments here may feel recycled, especially the slower parts, but most likely fans will have forgotten about it as the time passes on. Impiety are breaking new ground for themselves with this engaging concept album, and for that they most certainly should be applauded.
