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!
