4 stars You get hooked on the first song: "Chinese Whispers", and from there you don't get out, but once you get out, you find that the rest of the songs are as good or better than the first. It is from Spiritech that the style of Alchemist truly takes shape. Everything that could recall Swedish death metal was discarded and Adam Agius' vocals became lighter. The long melodic tracks of Spiritech are absolutely beautiful ("Chinese Whispers", "Figments", the Pink Floydian intro of "Inertia"), and some pieces have grooves like Prong. The overall atmosphere reminds me a bit of Killing Joke, there are many oriental melodies, and tribal percussion in every song. Great work by these Australians.
