Crypt Of Kerberos/World Of Myths/Pulverised Records/2012 CD Re-Issue Review


  Crypt  Of  Kerberos  are  a  band  from  Sweden that h as  a  history  dating  back  20  years  with  a  musical  style  that  combines  doom,  death  metal  and  progressive  music  together  and  this  is  a  review of  their  1993  album  "World  of  Myths"  which  was  released  by  Pulverised  Records  during  the  year  of  2012.

  Drums  range  from  slow, mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the music  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  progressive  death  metal  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording,  as  for  the synths  when  they  are  utilized  they  bring  a  progressive  metal  feeling  to  the  music.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  doom,  Swedish  style  death  metal  and  progressive  music  together  with  a  great  amount  of  avant  garde  time  changes  being thrown  into  the  riffing  as  well  as  some  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic,  progressive  and  technical sounding  guitar  solos  and  leads  that  utilize  a  great  amount  of  skill  and  talent,  as  for  the  classical  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  add  more  variety  to  the  music.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  growls,  high  pitched  screams  and  clean  singing,  while t he  lyrics  cover  Occultism,  as  for  the  production  it has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording,  in  addition  the  bonus  tracks  are  demo  versions  which  have  a  more  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  them.

  In  my  opinion  Crypt  Of  Kerberos  where  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid of  death,  doom  metal  and  progressive  music  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  style,  you  should  check out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Cyclone  of  Insanity"  "Ancient  War"  "Sleeping  God"  and  "World  Of  Myths".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
