Review:
Brutal Bulgarian Bonebreaker Band!
"The False Concept Of Life", the first release of Last Remains, is a very good example of the existence of good modern metal genres within the area of Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria and so on.
A first listen to the band, might sound like normal Deathcore, as known from before, but exactly this is the mistake, most people do - listening to a few seconds of a song and then decide if they like it or not.
"The False Concept Of Life" keeps it heavy and brutal from the first second on, straight to the end of track ten.
A brew with a concept behind. The listeners get a heavy load of breakdown based riffs into their ears and after a few listens, they will find out a positive message within the lyrics.
Actually the album contains a lot of surprising moments, which are pretty unexpected for the band, if you don't know them.
As said, the basement riffing contains a lot of breakdowns, which should be at least one positive aspect for breakdown and Deathcore fans.
The riffing is often and mostly followed by a great double bass line, and as usual the tempo is from fast to slow. The riffs are long enough to keep bang the head, without getting of the timing!
Also the album contains a lot of elements, which are usual for the Metalcore genre.
Fast tremolo/speed picking riffs, melodic and simple, yet elegantly placed between the heavy breakdowns.
Another piece that has to be attracted, there are a lot of untypical and original licks between the riffs, kinda melodic and kinda "celestial". Hardcore riffs for moshpits are also included!
Vocally the band keeps it simple with deep and heavy growls. Aggressive screams, yet not high, but well fitting to the music. And at some points there are some quite parts with clean voice waiting.
My conclusion:
For a band of their area definitely one of the best. This album contains a lot of breakdowns, which aren't only chugs, they are moving between two genres. There will be some Metalcore-Breakdowns and also a lot of Deathcore-Breakdowns.
Last Remains show, that they are brutal enough, to conquer your attention, if you are into heavy music, that is able to blast away the neighborhood. These guys aren't a band just for teens and scenes, they play modern genres and keep it metal. For those who dig Death Metal, this album will also be worth at least a listen!
I would recommend to read the interview i did with these guys too, to learn a bit about them. These guys are a hardworking band, that cares a lot about nice and good reputation and is also there for a talk. Leave them a comment if you visit them at Facebook!
