The World is Drowning Down Total time: 51:27 Review: When I say crossover metal I am not meaning exactly the crossover style, but a crossover of different, very different styles as stoner rock, hard rock and even thrash metal influences. The band is good, not excellent as Alkemist used us, but not boring at all though. The decision to print the lyrics backwards is simply criminal for the band! I wander what's the point in that or why was it a need for a booklet. I think it's simply stupid, and will never like those sort of ideas. Well the guys are trying their best and several good ideas are here too, but they still need some more to work for a real blast. The bass player is a good one and I think his virtuoso parts are doing only good to this album. Alternative touches are present too, alongside progressive, experimental ones, quite melodic, making it more varied and not boring, but I still think they need more work on the whole concept. You should try it, maybe you'll like it more. It's not a bad album to get scared of, not a quickly made one, on the run, to have a new album out. These guys are really playing, so don't be scared by my words. Contact: www.alkemist-fanatix.com
