Imagine a musician with an ample musical taste, covering extreme Metal genres and melodic ones on the same proportions, that likes Metal from the past years and from today, all without radical ideas about this or that. If you can imagine such thing, welcome: you now understand the need from creation that many has - even when they don’t know this fact - and why Metal evolved and is still evolving from the seeds sown by BLACK SABBATH in the past. And it’ll be easier to heart, understand and deal with “Eternal Rebellion”, the new EP of the Swedish quartet DECADENCE INCARNATE.

The production worked on a way to create a clean and defined sonority, but that has aggressiveness and distortion at the same time. And even being an independent release, the quality is truly surprising, because everything can be understood, but sounding sharp and cutting-edge.

The band’s inner idea on music: to play a form of Melodic/Technical Death Metal with clear influences from the melodic forms of Thrash Metal with some Metalcore touches. If one never read such lines, even the most puritan of the fans will never hear such combination clearly. The balance between aggressiveness and melodies is on a high level, and one could easily ask why a very good band in such way doesn’t have a label to support their music.

“Illusion of Freedom” (the song used for the promotional video) is aggressive and full of excellent hooks, with massive guitar riffs. On “Age of the Narcissist”, the heavier side of the band’s music becomes evident, with many slow tempos and nasty ambiences, with vey good snarls and shrieks of the vocals. “Lightbringer” brings the band nearer of modern Metal tendencies due some breakdowns, but always with a very good and technical work on bass guitar and drums, and very good choruses. And “Eternal Rebellion” is a song that balances aggressiveness, melodies and technique in an almost perfect way, with energy enough to disrupt you speakers or phones.

After hearing to “Eternal Rebellion”, one can surely ask why in the blazes DECADENCE INCARNATE does not have a full-length released by now?
