TERMINATE DAMNATION

The music on the album is melodic death metal/metalcore with a progressive edge. The basis in the music shifts from powerful and for the most part melodic death metal sections to metalcore breakdowns and chugging type riffing to more complex progressive parts to softer non distorted/acoustic guitar parts. The vocals vary from growling to more aggressive "core" type raw singing/screaming. The tracks are well composed and because they go through so many sections and moods they are also quite intriguing. Another asset is the fact that Becoming The Archetype are a very well playing act. It´s certainly not audible that this is a debut album. Neither when it comes to the musicianship nor when it comes to the songwriting. The sound production might lack the last bit of bite to push it from great to excellent, but we´re still talking a very well produced album if you enjoy clear metal productions.

I´ve been rather pleasantly surprised by "Terminate Damnation" and while I could have done without some of what I feel are generic sounding metalcore parts, it´s a relatively adventurous album that kept me entertained throughout the 54:26 minutes that it lasts. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is fully deserved.
