Chaos Leading To Harmony

by Massen

supported by

bmurator Symphonic / Melodic Black Metal from Belarus / Germany. Fantastically acute & vivid little EP! Short but ever so sweet & punchy! All songs are superb but the inescapable intensity of "Born by the Raven Claws" is something else! Highly recommended!!! Favorite track: Born by the Raven Claws.

sachavonkarl74 Short but intense !!! It blew my mind though, the two first tracks are worth it, don't like the LOTL but that's just me... Favorite track: Born by the Raven Claws.

snatchy Outstanding, very emotional output from my fellow Belarusians, although too short. Favorite track: When Everything Fades (feat. Chris Harms - LORD OF THE LOST).

about

When we head upside down into disaster, only chaos can lead us into harmony!

With their latest album “ContrAesthetic” MASSEN discovered the connection between opposites. It’s time for the band from Belarus to move further into this field via their New EP “Chaos Leading To Harmony”!

Their combination of black and death metal elements spiced with engaging sounds and a huge dose of unique melodies is quite an experience. The lyrics which are being sung in English and Belarus sets them even more apart from other bands within their field. “Fog Is Everywhere” lives up to its name by creating a foggy atmosphere before MASSEN starts the hunt through the mist. The energy level of “Born By The Raven Claws” is just relentless, but in all its rage there’s still a lot of space for atmospheric strings and anthemic vocal lines. After the fog and the ravens’ claws, the listener experiences how it must feel like “When Everything Fades”. Chris Harms (the mastermind behind Lord Of The Lost) lends his voice as a guest singer for the epic finale of this outstanding EP.

The three tracks have been recorded at TDS & Vibe Studio (Minsk, Belarus). Mick Kenney mixed and mastered the first two tracks while Borknagar’s very own Øystein G. Brun mixed the closing track “When Everything Fades” with Tony Lindgren (Amorphis, Katatonia, Opeth…) at the helm of the mastering process. The fantastic artwork was once again done by Costin Chioreanu (At The Gates, Arch Enemy…).

Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74

It's hard to describe this one. It's brutal, it's crazy, it's kicking ass! Some weird and insane shit. It's like a punch in the face…with a Knuckelduster…by your mom…on Christmas. Sælzer Bub
