I was under the impression that Arkhum was a blackened death metal band that used a lot of snazzy technicality and complex techniques to give their music an ‘extraterrestrial’ edge. While all of this is true, I was quickly kicked in the pants with a prominent deathcore-feel above the band’s other characteristics. Deathcore is not my music of choice, yet it’s important to mention I gave “Earthling” a chance anyway than " Anno Universum " Release, and I must say it at least attempts molding these various postulates into a brutal, punching extermination in which aliens from this galaxy and beyond will consider the grotesque portrait with pondering gestures; that’s really all the credit I can give the record !!! Amaziiing Riffing !!!!!!!!!!!!!! begitulah yang pertama kali keluar dari Mulut gw, bagaimana band ini mempunya Gaya Sweep Picking yang sadis pada struktur musiknya yang dasyat ! bener2 dominasi permainan Teknikal lebih membawa Esensial band ini menjadi Teknikal Band berbahaya dari Eugene/Springfield, Oregon, Amrik dengan sentuhan kental Modern Extreme Metal-nya, bener2 penawaran konsep musik yang begitu lengkap dan Komplek dapat mereka muntahkan dialbum Full ke-2 nya ini memang perpaduan antara Gaya Suffocation " Effigy Of The Forgotten " ( pada Beberapa Gaya Solo Gitar ), Decrepit Birth era " Polarity dan Dimished .. ", Necrophagist " Epitaph ", sentuhan blackened spice dari gaya Mayhem atau Emperor dan beberapa sentuhan Modern Killer Extreme Style in The Vein Arkaik, dan Veil Of Maya bener2 Konsep yang sangat membuai Gw dari pandangan awal ga terlalu perduli, tapi begitu menikmatinya, gw terperanjat Kagum !! This Is a hint of consistency alongside the bizarre techniques often applied throughout this interplanetary effort. Overall, the deathcore paradigm at least goes under a solid conversion despite it still being Arkhum’s priority, and doing so reveals some pretty neat ideas worth more than just a single listen. band yang memainkan permainan Rancak dan dinamis disetiap lagunya ini adalah bentukan Master skill Member dari Vocalis multitalenta pada progres musikal band ini sejak tahun 2006, Kenneth Parker, liat Pengalaman banyak bandnya di Earthenwomb, Enbilulugugal, Gromkult, Darkosis, Disfavor, Tactical Gorefare, ex-Alkmorhilyion, ex-Perpetual Misery, ex-Revenants in Poveglia, ex-Skeld, Banewreaker, Plains, Willowbrook, ex-Mistake, ex-Eternal Eclipse (live), ex-Satanvolk, ex-Abysmal Dirge, ex-Aeolus, ex-Azor Ahai, ex-Chigurh, ex-Eldritch Flamethrower, ex-KP Dubcraft, ex-Mortflesh, ex-Mortum Meum Vita, ex-Obukhov, memang bukan sosok yang suka berdiam diri dengan talentanya, ckckckck ... lalu ada Drummer Armen Koroghlian, yang sepak terjangnya juga panjang di banyak band seperti ex-Dislimb, Supremacy, ex-Fully Consumed, ex-Inhumanity, ex-Insatanity, ex-Omnihility, ex-The Apocalyptic Fist of the Black Death, ex-Shotgun Sodomy, ex-Her Virgin Womb, ex-2 Dudes, ex-Apadravya, ex-Backwards Dog, ex-Chemical Fear, ex-Deep Seed, ex-Dendrobium, ex-Ián, ex-Scarecrow, ex-Soulscythe, ex-The Fist, ex-The Fool, ex-Unhinged, namun sayang pasca menyelesaikan album ini, Armen memutuskan untuk cabut dari Arkhum sehingga untuk urusan panggung saat ini di addisionalkan ke Drummer Matt Reeves. kemudian ada Gitaris, Keyboard, Programming dan Nyanyi, Stephen Parker pernah beraksi di band Pathology, Bassis Nathanael Kelley pernah magang skill di band Gromkult, ex-Av Sorg, Banewreaker, Eldritch Flamethrower, Fatigue, ex-Char, ex-Eternal Eclipse (live), ex-Aeolus, ex-Asea, ex-Ephemeral, ex-Hyphema, ex-Morgenstern, ex-Nostalgia, ex-R.M.O.Y.F. dan terakhir adalah Gitaris berbakat yang sangat Idealis untuk Mastermind Arkhum Sendiri, Kyle Jendrisak terhitung pernah juga aktif diband Progressive Dampé's Keep &Hydra. so bisa bayangkan sendiri khan bagaimana Kualitas Musisi Band ini untuk dapat menciptakan aransemen musik yang serba mengagumkan ??? so Ayok kita cerita tentang album baru mereka yang telah banyak mengalami kemajuan ini, I think most of the album is simply too scorned by its own genetics to become more than just another deathcore CD. The record’s bad qualities are unloaded on the listener like a clown car crammed cashing in on half-priced pies at a bakery the size of a cubicle, and the woes never stop coming: insipid breakdowns, jejune riffs, mid-paced flops, lifeless percussion, directionless structures, songs that run out of ideas and just keep going anyway…it pours like spring rain. I’m particularly disgusted with the vocals above everything else; there’s usually a low, guttural bellow that frequently turns into an awkward shriek, which doesn’t sit right with me, but sometimes both approaches overlap during breakdowns or mid-paced pauses , and I’m sure I’d rather grind my headphones down the garbage disposal than hear something so ghastly. " Artificer; or the Contingency of Suns ", sambutan hangat yang sangat menendang dengan sajian teknikal Riffing,Alternate dengan Sweep Picking sadis menjadi Hidangan Keren yang tersayat begitu Speed Riff dengan komposisi musik yang matematika abis ! dan beberapa solo Gitarnya langsung mengena ingatan Gw dengan In The Vein Suffocation Era " Effigy Of The Forgotten " beud !! ini adalah perpaduan maut antara Decrepit Birth, Necrophagist dengan Intensitas Suffocation. the band’s potential is there, but it isn’t enough to excel the group beyond the mediocre sophistication that comes with slamming breakdowns and generic fundamentals. Arkhum would be very noteworthy if the weird sweeping and technical aspects of their music were placed at the forefront of their attack !! luar biasa komposisinya coy track ini ! lalu " Agglomeration Edict; or a Coruscation of Violent Light " tetap membawa esensi thema Science fiction, Lovecraft, dan cosmology, sehingga sama sekali ga gw pahami Materinya hahahaha .... coz Gw terlalu Menikmati Dasyat musiknya saja ! karena track ke-2 ini disuguhkan semakin dengan Intensitas Skill Kualitas diatas rata rata. Awesome !!! kemudian " Hostibus Vacuum " selanjutnya lebih tampil Gelap dan Hitam gayanya Emperor dan Mayhem ! sebuah Track yang terasa begitu berbeda tampilannya dengan 2 lagu sebelumnya, pembawaan karakternya memang lebih Total Blackened Metal abis nih !!! tapi tenang saja, kalau band ini ga terlalu terperosok dalam berikutnya di track " A Distant Biorhythm; or Fission and Firstlight " masih bisa kita nikmati kedasyatan berikut karakteristik musisi mengerikannya. pertarungan ego bermusik sangat terjadi disini, sehingga kita sebagai penikmat lebih merasakan ending Keren aransemennya. I wouldn't say they are the genre technical, because while they do have some pretty technical stuff, I don't feel like they're going out of their way to write obscenely hard riffs all the time, which I appreciate. " The Dim Effulgence of Perpetuity " lebih menjadi Instrumental Track dengan sentuhan yang kelam banget pada setiap Harmonisasinya. The musicianship is definitely there. They do a great job at flowing from riff to riff. They use odd time signatures very effectively. Unless you have a great ear for it, you would have a hard time telling they aren't playing standard time signatures when they do. " Re Vera, the Gulf is Voiceless; or the Lucidity Polymer " menambah semakin panjang filosofi mereka tentang Ilmu pengetahuan nih, what the Fuck With Lyric, sajian musiknya tetap keren gw nikmati sangat liar, liar dan Hitam !!! " Stygian Assertions; or the Allochthonous Door " meskipun mulai banyak menurunkan tempo-nya, kuantitas teknikal mereka masih kental terasa pada menit2 pertengahan. harmonisasi Hitam lebih sangat mengingatkan dengan gayanya lagi Emperor dan Mayhem, namun sekejab kadang hilang tertelan gaya Sweep Picking Technical kerennya itu...ckckckckckck .... " Cenancestor; or Fervency and Ardor " semakin menerjang hebat dengan Screamin Insane Black Metal Vokal mendominasi Part awalnya, semakin salut banget dengan kerja keras mengolah skill drummer dan Gitarisnya yang begitu menguasai kekacauan dengan segala Harmonisasinya. The instruments on the album are pretty technical, sometimes more than others. Some people that have heard a few, or all of the songs, call them technical death metal or technical blackened death. I wouldn't say they are the genre technical, because while they do have some pretty technical stuff, I don't feel like they're going out of their way to write obscenely hard riffs all the time, which I appreciate. lalu " Winnower; or Console Autonomous ", komposisi Death Metal nya mulai begitu kental dengan tari jemari Liar Riffing dan Drumming fantastisnya yang luar biasa gw memujinya !, Arphegios Sweep Picking Kickin Ass !!! dan Track terakhir " The Backbone of Night " menyudahinya dengan sebuah Instrumental song, sebagai hidangan pencuci mulut yang memang bener2 pas banget nuansanya setelah digempur dengan irama2 cepat dan sakit, Barulah Pendinginan suasana, permainan Gitar akustik dan Keyboard Epic begitu menghanyutkan suasana selama 06:11. hmmm ... bener2 sajian Sadis selama 01:00:10 begitu memukau dan mengundang decak kagum terus. well sangat patut gw rekomendasikan spesial buat kalian pecinta Irama Dinamis penuh dengan kejutan skill musisinya. Produksi Sounding Maksimal karya Enjiner Stephen Parker sendiri yang juga pernah menggarap materi2nya Band Raw Black Metal Asal Oregon juga, Gromkult serta masih banyak sekali Karya lainnya. sementara pada proses masteringnya oleh Jamie King yang juga punya jam terbang tinggi dengan karya2 dasyatnya dibanyak band. dan khabarnya, Rilisan Independen ini hanya dirilis sebanyak 50 Copy dalam Format Pro CD-R, loh??? haduh sayang banget jika mereka ga segera menemukan label yang cocok untuk menyebarkan keganasan kualitas album mengerikan ini, padahal Vokalis Kenneth Parker juga mengelola sebuah label bernama Glossolalia Records, yang merupakan anak label dari K. Productions yang sudah membubarkan diri, dan Glossolalia Records saat ini sudah terhitung memiliki 4 roster Band Genre Black Metal sebagai Spesialis Label ini. Overall this is an outstanding debut. One of the best I have heard. Definitely pick it up if you're into well written death metal with black metal elements. Keep your eyes on this band, they aren't going to be able to avoid the spotlight for too long. BUY OR DEATH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was under the impression that Arkhum was a blackened death metal band that used a lot of snazzy technicality and complex techniques to give their music an 'extraterrestrial' edge. While all of this is true, I was quickly intervening kicked in the pants with a prominent deathcore-feel above the band's other characteristics. Deathcore is not my music of choice, yet it's important to mention I gave "Earthling" a chance anyway than "Anno Universum" Release, and I must say it at least Attempts molding these various postulates into a brutal, punching extermination in roomates aliens from this galaxy and beyond will Consider Pondering the Grotesque portrait with gestures; that's really all the credit I can give the record!!! Amaziiing riffing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's the first time i came out of the mouth, how the band possessed a sadistic Style Sweep Picking on the structure of her music is terrible! Technical bener2 game dominance over the band brought into Essential Technical dangerous band of Eugene / Springfield, Oregon, Amrik with a touch of Modern Extreme Metal condensed it, bener2 concept offers music that is so complete and complex they can spit into-2 Full dialbum it is indeed blend of style Suffocation "Effigy Of The Forgotten" (in Some Style Solo Guitar), Decrepit Birth era "Polarity and Dimished ..", Necrophagist "Epitaph", a touch of spice blackened Mayhem or Emperor of style and some modern touches in Killer Extreme Style The Vein archaic, and Veil Of Maya bener2 very concept of a view of the early cradles Gw ga too concerned, but so enjoy it, I surprised Amazed!! This Is a hint of consistency alongside the bizarre techniques Interplanetary Often applied throughout this effort. Overall, the deathcore paradigm goes under at least a solid conversion despite it still being Arkhum's priority, and doing so reveals some pretty neat ideas worth more than just a single listen. band that plays the game smart and every songs are dynamic formations skill Master Member of multitalented vocalist on the band's musical progress since 2006, Kenneth Parker, clay much experience in Earthenwomb band, Enbilulugugal, Gromkult, Darkosis, Disfavor, Tactical Gorefare, ex- Alkmorhilyion, ex-Perpetual Misery, ex-Revenants in Poveglia, ex-Skeld, Banewreaker, Plains, Willowbrook, ex-Mistake, ex-Eternal Eclipse (live), ex-Satanvolk, ex-Abysmal Dirge, ex-Aeolus, ex- Azor Ahai, ex-Chigurh, ex-Eldritch Flamethrower, ex-KP Dubcraft, ex-Mortflesh, ex-Mortum Meum Vita, ex-Obukhov, is not a person who likes to keep silence with his talent, ckckckck ... then there Armen Drummer Koroghlian, that his behavior was too long in many bands such as ex-Dislimb, Supremacy, ex-Fully Consumed, ex-Inhumanity, ex-Insatanity, ex-Omnihility, ex-The Apocalyptic Fist of the Black Death, ex- Shotgun sodomy, ex-Her Virgin Womb, ex-2 Dudes, ex-Apadravya, ex-Backwards Dog, ex-Chemical Fear, ex-Deep Seed, ex-Dendrobium, ex-Ian, ex-Scarecrow, ex-Soulscythe, ex -The Fist, ex-The Fool, ex-Unhinged, but unfortunately after completing this album, Armen decided to unplug from Arkhum so for the current stage in the affairs addisionalkan to Drummer Matt Reeves. then there Guitarist, Keyboard, Programming and Sing, Stephen Parker never acted in Pathology band, bassist Nathanael Kelley interned Gromkult skill in the band, ex-Av Sorg, Banewreaker, Eldritch Flamethrower, Fatigue, ex-Char, ex-Eternal Eclipse (live ), ex-Aeolus, ex-Asea, Ephemeral ex-, ex-Hyphema, ex-Morgenstern, ex-Nostalgia, ex-RMOYF and the last is a very talented guitarist Idealists for Arkhum Own Mastermind, Kyle Jendrisak counted've also active diband Progressive Dampé's Keep & Hydra. so can imagine how Quality Musicians Band khan is to be able to create musical arrangements are completely awesome??? so Ayok us stories about their new album that has a lot of this progress, I think most of the album is simply too scorned by its own genetics up to become more than just another deathcore CD. The record's bad qualities are Unloaded on the listener like a clown car crammed cashing in on the half-priced pies at a bakery the size of a cubicle, and the woes never stop coming: insipid breakdowns, jejune riffs, mid-paced flops, lifeless percussion , directionless structures, songs that run out of ideas and just keep going anyway ... it pours like spring rain. I'm particularly disgusted with the vocals above everything else; there's usually a low, guttural bellow that frequently turns into an awkward Shriek, roomates does not sit right with me, but sometimes both approaches overlap during breakdowns or mid-paced pauses, and I'm sure I'd rather grind my headphones down the garbage disposal than hear something so ghastly. "Artificer; or the Contingency of Suns", a very warm welcome with a dish kicked technical riffing, with Sweep Picking Alternate sadistic into dishes that cut so Speed ??Cool Riff with mathematical musical compositions abis! His guitar solo and a direct hit to the memory Gw Era In The Vein Suffocation "Effigy Of The Forgotten" beud!! This is a deadly mix between Decrepit Birth, Suffocation Necrophagist with intensity. the band's potential is there, but it is not enough to excel the group beyond the mediocre sophistication that comes with slamming breakdowns and generic fundamentals. Arkhum would be very noteworthy if the weird sweeping and technical aspects of their music were placed at the Forefront of their attack!! remarkable composition coy this track! and "agglomeration Edict; Violent or a Coruscation of Light" still carries the essence of the theme Science fiction, Lovecraft, and cosmology, so totally understand the material is gw ga hahahaha .... Enjoy Gw coz too terrible music alone! because the 2nd track is presented with the Skill Intensity above average quality. Awesome!!! then "Hostibus Vacuum" Dark and perform further more his style Black Emperor and Mayhem! a track that feels so different zoom with 2 previous songs, character traits are more Total Blackened Metal abis nih!!! but take it easy, if the band ga too mired in the next track "A Distant biorhythm; Fission and Firstlight or" we can still enjoy the following characteristics kedasyatan terrible musician. very musical ego battle going on here, so we as an audience feel more cool ending arrangements. I would not say they are the technical genre, Because while they do have some pretty technical stuff, I do not feel like they're going out of their way to write obscenely hard riffs all the time, I appreciate roomates. "The Dim Effulgence of Perpetuity" more into Instrumental Track with really dark touch on any harmonization. The musicianship is definitely there. They do a great job at flowing from riff to riff. They use odd time signatures very Effectively. Unless you have a great ear for it, you would have a hard time telling they are not playing standard time signatures when they do. "Re Vera, the Gulf is Voiceless; Polymer or the Lucidity" adds to the length of their philosophy of science ya, What The Fuck With Lyric, dish remains cool i enjoy his music very wild, wild, and Black!!! "Stygian Assertions; allochthonous or the Door" starts a lot lower though his tempo, quantity Technically they are still thick felt in the mid menit2. Black harmonization over again very reminiscent of the style Emperor and Mayhem, but sometimes lost in an instant style Sweep Picking Technical term is that ... ckckckckckck .... "Cenancestor; Fervency and Ardor or" the great hit with Screamin Insane Black Metal Vocals Part dominate initially, salute the hard work really with drummer and Guitarist cultivate skills that once mastered mess with any harmonization. The instruments on the album are pretty technical, sometimes more than others. Some people that have heard a few, or all of the songs, call them technical death metal or technical blackened death. I would not say they are the technical genre, Because while they do have some pretty technical stuff, I do not feel like they're going out of their way to write obscenely hard riffs all the time, I appreciate roomates. then "winnower; Console or Autonomous", Death Metal composition started so strong with his fingers dance Wild riffing and Drumming fantastisnya incredible gw praised!, Arphegios Sweep Picking Ass Kickin!!! and last Track "The Backbone of Night" finished off with an instrumental song, a dessert that is very fitting bener2 nuance after irama2 quickly and pounded with pain, Then Cooling atmosphere, play acoustic guitar and keyboard washed atmosphere so Epic for 06:11 . hmmm ... 01:00:10 Sadistic during bener2 dish is so riveting and awe-inspiring continue. very well worth i recommend special for you lovers of Dynamic Rhythm full of surprises skill musicians. Sounding Maximum Production Engineer works of Stephen Parker himself, who also worked on materi2nya Band Raw Black Metal Origin Oregon also, Gromkult and still a lot of other work. while in the process masteringnya by Jamie King, who also had a high-flying hours with karya2 dasyatnya in many bands. and khabarnya, Independent release is only released as many as 50 in the Copy Pro Format CD-R, loh??? haduh really love if they ga soon find a suitable label for the spread of malignancy quality of these terrible album, but vocalist Kenneth Parker also ran a label called Glossolalia Records, a subsidiary label of K. Productions that have been disbanded, and Glossolalia Records currently have 4 roster already counted Band Genre Black Metal Label this as a Specialist. Overall this is an outstanding debut. One of the best I have heard. Definitely pick it up if you're into well written death metal with black metal elements. Keep your eyes on this band, they are not going to be Able to avoid the spotlight for too long. BUY OR DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
