Adimiron is an Italian death and thrash metal band from Rome , which was founded in 1998 under the name Angels of Darkness .
history
The band was founded in 1998 under the name Angels of Darkness by guitarist Alessandro Castelli and drummer Davide Carotenuto. The line-up was supplemented by the singer Leonardo Gioia, the bassist Marcello Piliego and the keyboardist Francesca Daccico. In March 2001 a first demo appeared under the name Everlasting Flight , which contains four songs. The debut album Burning Souls followed in 2004, followed by the albums When Reality Wakes Up (2009), K2 (2011), Timelapse (2014) and Et Liber Eris (2017). In 2018 the band could be seen at ProgPower Europe and the Euroblast Festival .
style
According to rockdetector.com , the band initially played melodic death metal with a slight black metal and a strong classical influence. According to Rock Hard , Burning Souls is often assigned to Technical Death and Thrash Metal by Karmageddon Media . This is justified by the fact that the number of solos on the album is slightly higher compared to representatives of the genre. Despite breaks and quick changes, the music does not seem complex if the band also succeeds in proving their technical ability, but "[they] get tangled up in melodic clichés or remains fragmentary". Instead, when making the purchase or playback decision, it was advised to use Crowned in Terror by The Crown . In a later issue Michael Rensen wrote about K2 that the band doesn't manage to find their own sound, but, he said, they combine “appealingly massive, slightly winding Thrash basement riffs with sci-fi vocal effects”. Similarities to Mastodon , Opeth , Meshuggah , Fear Factory or Cynic can be heard in the songs . Rensen noted that "friends of techno-thrash descents [...] at K2 should at least appreciate the high energy level". Hendrik Lukas found that with Timelapse one “always vacillates between admiration for so much creative fire, playfulness and the courage to recombine” and “the desperate search for the crux of the matter”. In the songs there are “deeply tuned Thrash riffs and polymetric Bregenverknoter, sci-fi melodies with Cynic vocoders and blastbeats ”. On the one hand, the songs have an artistic self-confidence, on the other hand they are bulky in the style of revocation . Markus Klaas from Metal.de wrote in his review of Et Liber Eris that the band sounded like a mixture of Gojira and Mastodon on the previous album , but now it sounds more like a worse version of Hacride . Especially the electric guitar "too often gets lost in arbitrariness with its gimmicks and tinkering". The vocals lack charisma and tend towards Nu Metal "with their rather tired scream-sing-interplay" .
