A Metal band that attempt to merge "film score style composition with syncopated guitar rhythms." What that translates to is chug-chug riffs with some piano and string interludes scattered throughout. It's not a new idea,
Celtic Frost did something similar decades ago, and
Sigh are the current masters of it. (I'm not saying
Xerath sound like
CF or
Sigh; they don't.) The orchestral moments are interesting and complementary to the structure but the generic Metal grunts they mask don't offer anything we've not heard a thousand times before.
Songs of Note:
Intrenity;
Abiogenesis
2½ needs more strings out of 5
