Check it out here at this link: https://www.heavymetalheaven.it/2021/01/19/recensione-weight-of-emptiness-conquering-the-deep-cycle/ Chilean band Weight of Emptiness reaches their second album with Conquering the Deep Cycle . A well accepted goal, given that their very multifaceted style is not only original but also courageous and effective: if in fact the shores of death metal with a growl voice are the prevailing ones, the songs on this album are full of different nuances, of changes of tempo, of quiet parts with guitar and stop and go arpeggios, recalling on the whole the first Opeths . The opening Conquering is a short introductory track that, with instrumental tones, creates a dark atmosphere to introduce Invisible Mind Workers , in which strong vibrations of influence rise In Flames and Cradle of Filth but with a decidedly progressive imprint. The track is extremely heavy and it really never gives up. Chucao keeps the heaviness at full speed, with a section of the track plunging into a calm setting before retracing his steps with fantastic guitar work and clean singing. Powerful and disarming, in The Flame (especially in the first part) touch the Mastodonin terms of violence (impact riffing) and leave no survivors leading the listener to a final part from the death mold. At the same time, the instrumental openings in Laps of Insanity open to many different territories, not least the avantgarde (and the specter of Mikael Åkerfeldt appears again ), resulting chaotic, but at the same time more orderly than the previous tracks. Lamentos , on the other hand, is softer and more ballad-like, while Eleven Ravens returns to the solid sound we have become accustomed to, hard, heavy and pogo-inducing, with an incredible guitar solo. Lurking Hopewill be a fan favorite in no time. The track just needs to be heard to believe it. Two Tears Alone features a sound that is richer with melody, brutality and riffs galore. Finally, the album ends with Deep Cycle , an outro loaded with synths that characterize the dark ambient soul of the song. The album overall is good enough and deep enough for metal fans to find something they like. In some pieces the final effect changes and perhaps the compositions become even too intricate so much that they lengthen the perceived duration of the piece. The Weight of Emptiness is a band that does not make up a pattern for the case, but everything is studied and proven in detail. The production in general is good but not excellent, the sounds in such a multifaceted proposal have their own identity even if with more attention behind the mixer they could have taken on a stronger personality. In any case, for lovers of extreme music but thirsty for variations and technique Conquering the Deep Cycle is a little gem. Super recommended. - Heavy Metal Heaven webzine Weight Of Emptiness is a Chilean band of metal which practice a mixture style in which can be distinguished progressive, death, doom, and black metal.
