“The Astonishing Fury Of Mankind” comes courtesy of Darkness Dynamite, a band that likes to call la douce France home. There’s nothing ‘douce’ however about their songs as they present a mix of modern metal a la God Forbid meets the metalcore aesthetics of As I Lay Dying.
It’s not bad at all… I especially love the way a song can jump from melodic death metal to a solid heavy metal guitar solo with the rest of the band thrashing away. The choruses are mostly very melodic which they have in common with a band like Soilwork.
I’ve already been throwing some pretty big names around here to which Darkness Dynamite unfortunately can’t live up to just yet. But considering they’ve only been around for two years and this is their debut, I think it’s fair to say we’ll probably hear a lot more from these guys in the future. Hopefully without acoustic interludes then… they’re a complete waste of space and of my time.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
