Sidious/Ascension To The Throne Ov Self/Kaotxin Records/2013 EP Review


  Sidious  are  a  band  from  The  United  Kingdom  that  plays  a  mixture  of  symphonic  black,  death  metal  and  deathcore  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  ep  "Ascension  To  The  Throne  Ov  Self"  which  was  released  by  Kaotoxin  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  great  amount  of  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  synths  bring  a  very  dark,  atmospheric  and  symphonic  sound  to  the  recording,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  symphonic  black,  brutal death  metal  and  deathcore  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  along  with  a  great  amount  of  dark  sounding  melodies  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  and  technical  sounding  black/death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  growls  to  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  with  some  Gregorian  chants  being  used  on  the  last  song,  while  the  lyrics  cover  the  concept  and  rebirth  of  humanity  after  generations  compounded  by  religious  and  monetary  systems,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  brutal  and  professional  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Sidious  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  symphonic  black,  brutal  death  metal  and  deathcore  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Insurmountable  Mass"  and  "Nihilistic  Regeneration".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
