Weird Fate - The Collapse Of All That Has Been
After several demos and a split album, Black Metal vanguards Weird Fate unleash their debut 'The Collapse Of All That Has Been.' Coming off as some esoteric, pilosophical effort that is sure to sound like Deathspell Omega,Weird Fate aim more for a diverse, but predictable approach that switches between fast and slow tracks. The faster, more noticeable pieces- particularly due to longer length- are more traditional Black Metal styled. Fast all the way through with some melodic moments mostly due to the bass (surprisingly), a track like "Manifest Of The Crestfallen" is sure to give fans of kvlt Black Metal a run for their money with a strong production and violent output that is everything that traditional Black Metal should sound like. Others like "Futile Words" are more noticeable as they switch between fast and slower moments, adding subtle doses of melody to enjoy so it doesn't feel like a headache all the way through.
The other half of the album is slower instrumental pieces, switching between ambient noise and just pleasant acoustic moments. These tracks are shorter and obvious interludes, but help break up the album overall by giving those who want to see a more progressive side something to enjoy. "And Utter Emptiness" sounds like a classically arranged church choir with haunting Black Metal shrieks added in throwing in depressive elements. "1709" is just basic acoustic guitar, but again has the progressive elements of spoken word formats. Sections like these are definitely not going to hit as hard, but carry more emotional weight that is easy to sink into after the storm of a track like the title track. As a result, these switches are predictable much in the way that Farsot's debut album was, but Weird Fate makes a strong entrance with their debut by showing both sides of the Black Metal spectrum, and should be able to get enough fans riled up to check out their music altogether.
