Inflammare (Germany)

 

 

Inflammare (Germany)

Inflammare - "In Memory Of" Speaking honestly when I had started to listen to “In Memory Of” it appeared slightly boring to me. Probably it happened because of the opening track “Shadowlands” which is mid-tempo, long and monotonous. But after that Inflammare presents a pack of good melodic blackened metal tracks in the best traditions of 90’s. It includes atmospheric riffage with background keys and very beautiful parts on acoustic guitar. Vocal screams “Winter!” and you imagine yourself alone between the snowy field. Such kind of tracks is very good to immerse yourself in memories and dreams. But you should not think that this release is kind of meditative! Atmosphere is absolutely changes from the track “Glory in Battle”. Yeah, battles, armies, swords and death to enemies! All of this sounds like a blackened Manowar (ha-ha) and it’s not bad. This release probably is not outstanding but absolutely honest. And when Inflammare on the track “Meaning of Life” singing “Metal is our religion and we will die for it!” I believe them. Good job!
