Symbiotic Tomorrow "All That's Gone" EP Review


 

  For Almost the last three years Symbiotic Tomorrow have being releasing consistently great music but for some reason it's not reaching/resonating with a larger audience,let this serve as a brief introduction(& appreciation) of them,two of Limericks most talented/proficient musicians play a huge part in what the band have to offer, Alan O' Connell writes and produces all the music and Keith McCoy delivers machine-like percussion/drumming ,most of their releases also feature Italian professional session singer Eric Castaglia, The music blends elements of Death Metal,/Thrash Metal and Progressive Metal delivered with razor sharp precision while packing a lethal punch,lets get into the finer details of the new EP All That's Gone.

   Staright from the off All That's Gone delivers relentless break neck speeds and technically proficient riffing while the vocal delivery is nothing short of unbridled brutality, the mid tempo passages throughout Blood Of The New World ups the ante with regard to the technicality of proceedings while the vocals maintain that trademark relentlessness, there subtle Melodic Death Metal nuances very prevelent on Burn there's a nice mid tempo groove complemented by the aggressive vocals.

 


  Again On Eyes Of Your God the melodic tendencies are pushed to the fore,the drumming is full of intricate fills and rolls whick keep fluctuating from mid tempo to aggressive brutality, Closing track  The Hatred With is a killer mid tempo offering with the technicality pushed even more to the fore,again the vocals are relentlessly aggressive and consistently pack a lethal punch,the drumming is once again delivered with razor sharp precision.

 All That's Gone has a somewhat apocalyptic undertone and offers a fantastic array of everything from Death,Thrash & Progressive Metal,brilliantly executed drumming,aggressive gut punching vocals,tachnicality proficient Guitar work including soaring leads full of passion and  a subtly uplifing element you wouldn't usually associate with the more extreme side of metal, this is a really solid and competent offering that should attract a larger audience.

RATING: 8.5/10
