Possibly due to the songwriting changes, but there is something definitely amiss with his voice on this release. The first few spins, it was quite noticeable. Henning Basse also, seems to be singing slightly differently. Of course there are a handful of your typical sounding Metalium tracks, but unfortunately this change seems to be missing something. On some songs, there is a groove feel, something I’ve never heard on a Metalium CD before. Metalium have slowed down their pace in a great deal of their songs, electing for mid-paced tracks with a diverse sound. These songs are not your typical Metalium songs, fast and furious with melodic choruses from start to finish. So what is so different you ask? Their songwriting. Remaining in their songs are the “band shouting” choruses, including the high-pitched wails of vocalist Henning Basse double-bass pummeling and ripping shreds, rips and solos. Quite different to what they have normally done in the past, but they still have their trademark sound infused throughout. different, almost experimental in some ways. So, how does ‘Incubus-Chapter Seven’ stack up? My first reaction is to say. But Metalium seem determined to their work, thus the many CDs in a short time frame. While I personally enjoyed ‘Nothing To Undo’, it received mixed reviews and emotions around the globe. Their fans too, who have jumped on and off their bandwagon over recent years, are also hoping for a return to better form. This is Metalium’s 4th release in 5 years, which is quite impressive.Įnjoying their previous few releases ‘Nothing To Undo’ and ‘Demons Of Insanity’, hopefully this new CD will bring Metalium back to their best efforts of their first 3 CDs. Their latest is their 7th full-length, entitled ‘Incubus-Chapter Seven’. All these guys seem to do is churn out CD after CD almost every year. Another year has gone by and surprise surprise, German power metal band Metalium have released another CD.
