With their second album, Danish metal band Danefae have dished up a fusion of progressive metal and traditional Nordic musical traditions. In short, it’s progressive metal with Danish lyrics. The album has a title of “Trøst” which translates as Solace and the songs are personal stories inspired by folk legends.
Distant’s latest release is pretty much what you’d expect from a down-tempo deathcore album, but it does it more interestingly than the norm.
“Hush” displays a lot of compositional variety, and offers a strong throwback to prog metal classics while also keeping a unique sound and mixing in unexpected elements.
Their sound is exploring the grey area between modern technical death metal and deathcore, and they’re also throwing in hints of djent and black metal, just to make the concoction of extremity as wild as it gets.
Power metal isn’t exactly my go-to genre. But something clicked for me when I was watching the video to ‘War Hearts’ and all of a sudden, instead of coming across as “power metal”, I felt like I was just witnessing some brilliant songwriting.
