First Track Review: EMBRACE OF LORD “Dead Serenity” (2012)

Reviewed by Dylan Raine

Artist: Embrace of Lord
Single: Dead Serenity
Year: 2012

Embrace of Lord is a melodic groove metal band which was founded in 2011 in Tehran, Iran. The band which focus mainly on the genre of Melodic Groove Metal have given us an early insight to their first track from their upcoming album.

‘Dead Serenity’ starts with high octane speed riffs typically that of Symphony X, add then the dark metal growls, and the lead melody lines and you get an overwhelming sense of extreme metal. As you progress the heaviness gets heavier, taking you into the likes of White Zombie or that of Agolloch. With super progressions, riffs, licks, and breakdowns this is an exceptional first look at a band which hopefully will be rated among the best metal bands in our world today.

If the album is as good as this first track then it will be something quite spectacular, and well worth the wait.
