In the Maze of Kadath

One of the best death metal bands I’ve ever heard, this demo is just glorious.

The making of In the Maze of Kadath is vastly insane, it possess keyboards that produce really dismal melodies which connote and generate truly dark lugubrious atmospheres accompanying the instruments all record long. James has one of the deepest and most powerful voice I've ever heard, his voice is incredibly profound, obscure, macabre, tenebrous, murk and the growls certainly presage the rest of the atmosphere that is made by the rest of the instrument.

It's incredible how Catacomb can fit so well the alignment, guitars create melodies with arpeggios, palm mutes, tremolo picking, truly atmospheric solos and vicious distorted power chords always over the beautiful keyboards and drumming. Drums which are also plausible, are not the typical death metal drumming at 200 bpm, they vary a lot the tempo and the notes as well.

The prudent thing about this record is the quantity of assortment that it has, suddenly the structure can change radically all the melody and the composition, but if one instrument alter, everything else will change too, for example, if a solo starts, rhythm guitar will also adjust its structure dramatically, the same thing will happen with the drums, keyboards and also the vocals, and this occurs almost the entire 24 minutes. The only thing that makes me put a 93% instead of 100% is that the bass is not that perceptible, but the work is incredible though.

There are some tranquility parts which are composed just by the synths.

This record is a story where I imagine the Cthulhu singing, this demo achieved to create a beautiful Lovecraftian travel which comprehends lots of melodic touches well putted.
