Dygora - Chambers of Reflections (2018)
Following up on their Prelude to
Revoluton demo from 2015, the
London-based quintet of Dygora have returned with four more tracks of
death metal with a dusting of sludge influence, sounding pretty
polished with the production of their beats and growling guitars.
The vocals, despite their consistency in delivering a rough gnashing,
are probably the least interesting component of the music, and often
feel like they're just distracting from the instrumental meshing,
with their most engaging usage being when the rasping is played as a
rhythmic counter-point or overlay. Past the dirty tones of the
guitars and bass, and a couple of spoken samples in the last song,
there's not that much sludge influence to be found, unfortunately,
and for the most part, the songs chug along without taking breaks to
indulge in more textured effects, or to push their intensity and
aggressiveness up to blackened levels. While it may be an
improvement from their demo days, it also shows plenty of room for
the band to continue defining their style as something more
distinctive, though the near-half-hour of material here should please
those who are just looking to satisfy their cravings for some
blast-beats and barking.
