Insight After Doomsday - Aware

Well...Facebook were vaguely right. - 60%

plebman, June 15th, 2011

"The next Soilwork?

People are saying INSIGHT AFTER DOOMSDAY just might be. Get your Free Download now!"

The advert Facebook used to describe this band, and honestly, it's not that far off.

After searching for anything by them, I came across just over half of their first release, making the listenability of this band extremely difficult, largely due to it all being on Myspace or Facebook(?), and by sounds of most of it, it's very much like Soilwork of ye olde tales, or Natural Born Chaos/Predator's Portrait for the rest of us.

Musically, they don't differ very much from the Gothenburg sound pathed by Soilwork, albeit, they're Spanish.
In relation to Soilwork, of old, or recent, they appear to be a bit heavier perhaps a closer musical resemblance to early Dark Tranquillity or In Flames, or even Arch Enemy, with a vocalist who wouldn't go too far amiss from a Soilwork cover band.
The riffs don't appear to be any more complex than anything else from the Melodeath genre, but the drumming accompanies the vocals almost perfectly. Perhaps the redeeming feature to this album on the whole.

The only reason this album doesn't score any higher than 60% is largely down to inaccesibility, advertising on Facebook and they're a worse example of where Soilwork succeeded 7-8 years ago, but the genre's moved on since then, onto bigger and better albums from all Gothenburg associated bands, with exception to In Flames who took a nose dive as of late.
Worth a listen if you're not a diehard Soilwork fan due to Bjorn, but not that good independantly.
