When you walk around the excellent debut “As the Flame Withers” which itself is a high point, there are two possibilities.
Whether you’re still at the top with the release of yet another exceptional album or get in the vortex, unable to approaches to quality.
Here we have the second album of a band in a very short period of time has climbed in popularity by leaps ahead in first place the quality of, secondly from the popularity and thirdly, as we mentioned from the debut album “As the Flame Withers”.
The truth is that to my ears the new “Blazing Inferno” album does not exceed the previous one but we are talking about a movement that falls short.
The “Blazing Inferno” is a different album. An album of the most “easy” in the hearing, most of Jim Mutilator album and an album closer to the roots of the Greek sound.
The period of the “Triarchy of the Lost Lovers” of Rotting Christ has taken the place of this album and I like it a lot.
You will hear familiar sounds, compositions that touch the listener with feelings that touch even the most demanding listeners.
The “Blazing Inferno”, comes to confirm their place in the metal scene, with their signature characterizes their work with a sonic adventure that combines the dark atmosphere with dynamic compositions.
The theme of the “Blazing Inferno” explores the dark for the most part issues while the lyrics are full of symbolism that are listed in the human psyche and the challenges of life.
The production of the album is excellent, with the Yoth Iria to incorporate elements from all the heavy metal categories with the base and the atmosphere of course in black metal.
The guitars are epic, with rich melodies and orchestrations that create a sense of grandeur.
The styles range from aggressive to more atmospheric, offering a dynamic experience.
The vocals are full of passion, with the voice of the singer’s fits in perfectly with the music.
The chemistry between the band members is evident, as the energy is transferred to the listener.
None of the pieces included in “Blazing Inferno” is not lagging behind, with the title-track opens the album, and the “Rites Of Blood And Ice”, which offers a more melodic and emotional dimension to stand out.
Each piece offers something unique, keeping the listener interested.
The Yoth Iria, once again, manage to create an album with great prospects of combining the power and sensitivity with a unique atmosphere.
Whether you’re an old or a new listener, this album will keep you hooked from the first till the last note.
