Spheron - Ecstasy Of God FLAC

"Ecstasy of God" is the debut full-length album from German death metallers “Spheron”, out on “Apostasy Records”. “Spheron” drew me unsuspectingly with this release, and is hard to believe it's only a debut album. Their technical death metal is strong here, with furious growls and relentless drums, urgently pacing the skilled music. The creativity and songwriting skill on “Ecstasy Of God” shines through. In this album many music ideas have taken a great form and shape while including mounds of shred, changing tempos, and changing time signatures. Still, these straight-up tech death metal songs change frequently from death or grind to doom or just slow guitar riffs. All the tracks are immensely layered and complex, never easing into a rhythm or anything remotely comfortable, but not so much so that it shadows everything. The songs on “Ecstasy Of God” are all very well-written, and each one is unique. “Spheron” has succeeded to incorporate so many different extreme metal sensibility, mostly to an excellent result. “Ecstasy Of God” is certainly worth hearing, even if it’s just to hear great musicianship.
