In Dutch we have an expression that could be translated as a fit of French rage… yes, it’s a dumb expression but it applies very well to Apocalypse Now, a couple of metalcore-playing French dudes that seem very angry with the state of the world.
“Empires Fall” is filled with jackhammer drums and earthquake-inducing shredding but I doubt any empires will fall over this disc. It’s all very well done, nicely executed with solos and gang vocals aplenty. So it’s not like they have to bend over and get spanked by their American brethren. But they don’t outshine them either. They will probably get plenty of chances to open for all the big bands when they breeze through France but based solely on “Empires Fall”, that’s probably as far as it’ll go.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
