The Hypothesis
“Origin”
2016
Anyone like Melodic Death Metal? Anyone like Soilwork? These guys do and it shows. Crisp, solid guitars, great drum work and melodies that get stuck in your head. This is classy Melo-Death at its finest.
First song proper “Shades to Escape” starts with a cool little keyboard arrangement then the crushing guitars kick in. Vocals range from growly with some very well placed clean vocals thrown in for good measure.
“Leak ” picks up the pace , “End of Days” , “Scarface” follow in good fashion and set the tone for the rest of the album. I will say the last 4 tracks all start with keyboards which was a bit annoying and the instrumental at the end was not needed, but it is what it is. I enjoyed this quite a lot though, in fact I’m not huge into Melo-Death but this definitively hit the spot. I bet these guys are killer live too, definitely a band to watch out for.
For fans of Soilwork without a doubt and Omnium Gatherum.
