Univerself
Dying Vision

April 2, 2015

Fellow Metal Temple team member and good friend approached me with a new band from his home country Poland, seeking help to get their name across the cyberspace and the band to be one everyone's lips in the Metal community. Since raising the band's profile is my top priority here I was only more than happy to except this task.
The band I am talking about is DYING VISION; they are a Melodic Black Death Metal band who formed three years ago by founding members Starash (ex. DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS) and SeeKing (ex. DIACHRONIA).
From the sounds of their latest album "Univerself" I already noticed their strong, powerful sound that shows to me they do not mess around when it comes to creating music. I can hear within the pounding riffs in the guitars, the rolling drums and the aggressive vocals. These come together nicely to create a fusion of dark, enchanting melodies that bring out our inner Black Metal warrior ready to wreak havoc and chaos.
They provide similar vibes to other Black Metal bands I have reviewed recently; those are ETHEREAL, GRIMORE and KJELD, this is speaking in terms of the strong melodies and beauty within darkness feel when you emerge yourself away from the stresses of reality. I am also talking about a grand presence within their music provided by the symphonic synthesizers which works very well in my opinion. It only leaves me wondering what they are like as a live band.
DYING VISION certainly offer up something special within terms of their well-built sound; whatever that special ingredient is let's hope they don't lose it as this will be the componenent that will ensure their successful journey into the Metal community.
To say they are a new found treasure in this cave of Metal gems would be an understatement. Highly recommended for fans of Black and Death Metal; you'd be a fool to miss them.
