#AlbumReview: Anoreksi – Insignificance by Sílvia
“Insignificance” is the new album by Anoreksi, following their previous full-length album and EP released in 2011 and 2013 respectively. So, after this long time of silence, it’s great to see they are back with a very good repertoire.
This album consists of 9 tracks with a very good melodeath formula: some memorable riffs, big amount of brilliant melodies executed by the dual guitar assault, raspy vocals providing growls and some screams, the use of keyboards and piano in some songs, shiny guitar solos…
The opener song, “Outsiders”, starts with a synth melody that puts you in the right mood since second 1. When the rest of artillery enters, it’s not in a soft way: guitars start playing heavily and the tunes become infectious, while consistent drums don’t miss a beat and do some good shifts in rhythm; the bass carries the pulse of the deepest notes, and harsh vocals are killer, of the ferocious kind, with some screams to emphasize the sonic aggression. Lead guitar plays a very enjoyable solo, and at the end, synths make a fantastic outro of the theme, with a mysterious atmosphere flickering around. This is an excellent way to start.
Now the bar has been set really high. I had great expectations about the rest of the songs. And, they are really good but I’d have loved more presence of keyboards. Of course this is just my personal taste. Anyway, there are plenty of good melodies and the heaviness is maintained all through the album, with a clean production.
I really enjoy the highly melodic riffs, specially in “Coast of the Future”, “Wet Sidewalk” and “Shadows Walk”, the last one being one of the most catchy and dynamic tracks in my opinion.
Some songs have a slower tempo, like “Insignificance”, a short track built upon a beautiful melodic basis, sounding a bit fierce at the beginning due to the growls and screams, but at the same time the synths in the background set a great atmosphere. When the guitar solo kicks in, drums soften and after a while they disappear. The final part of this song is an emotional and vibrant guitar passage, full of melancholy.
And after the calm comes the storm, “Wet Sidewalk” follows with powerful riffs and pounding drums to remind us what this album is about. Vocals become shamelessly rough, and the bass has its stellar moment to shine. The amazing guitar solo makes this song one of my favorites from this album, along with “Outsiders”.
The closing theme, “Remnants”, starts soft and calmly, but then it unleashes its primal force and becomes a mix of rough intensity and beauty. I think it’s an appropriate farewell for this album. 8/10
