Denile - Autumn: Sea of Dying
This is the kind of extreme Hardcore/Metal crossover that my pal Jack would call “Metalcore,” so I’ll steal his term. It’s occasionally easy to see the Slayer influence in Denile, but only at their most mellowed out and relaxed. This band is unbelievably intense, and can be tremendously heavy whenever they feel like it. The blurred line between Metal and Hardcore has been explored by many bands over the years, and most of them proved just how hard it is to do that and not sound like complete jackasses. Denile blends the styles so flawlessly, so masterfully, that it seems as if they’ve had decades to perfect their craft. The problems that other crossover bands have had in the past (mostly bad vocals and stupid riffs) are utterly obliterated here, without one second of weakness to be found in these nearly 25 minutes. But that’s the only problem: this is too short! I need more! Okay, it is true that I would much rather have 25 perfect minutes than have more time and less perfection. God damn, I can hardly wait to hear more from these guys.
