“Take a step forward and uncover what lies beyond the portrait of our kind, shedding all those masks one by one…” Portraits Of Mankind, the new EP from from Italian metal group Abeyance, arrives as a 28 minute long, 90s style driven Melodeath offering, dispatched through 5 intense tracks.
The correct injection of more recent influences act
as a glue for this debut EP, helping you discover its rich sound and
identity. Riffs and solos are structured to release all the genre
potential and variety mixed with rhythm and emotive changes as well.
This is even expressed through deep and mostly introspective-oriented
lyrics. The vocals follow a classic growl technique, with mid-pitched
and harsh singing that spreads throughout the EP with an aggressive
tone.
The
compositions took more than 2 years as the tracks were carefully shaped
and arranged in ways that finally satisfied the band expectations. The
goal was creating something more appealing, coming from Melodic Death
Metal fans and tailored more for the Melodeath fans. With this Abeyance
took the challenging job of not just bringing back the old school metal
music but also it’s feelings and perceptions. The lyrics also had a
very significant treatment and were weaved to make them stand out in an
enthralling way, unraveling through many metaphoric and allegorical
narrations.
