Review:
Australia, is praised with a lot of great Artists around the Metalcore and Hardcore scene, but Glorified! are definitely a few steps further then all of them, what is affected to the genre and the style of the band.
Most of the bands are Newcomers and this band sounds in their "early years" like a professional metal outfit.
Started playing shows in 2010 and released a debut album already on year later, lets us know, this band knows what they want and they do it fucking great!
Glorified!'s debut release is titled "Realisations" and offers the listener 8 pretty sweet composed tracks, that are completely unexpected.
Using elements from Metalcore and Hardcore and taking a lot of progressions to it, refined with a lot of keys, that could just be a short introduction to the sound of this freshly recognized band.
Modern and classy chug riffs as know from too many bands, that try to sound like Messhuggah just to be "Djent" can be found on this release in a complete different dimension.
Smooth breakdowns followed by keyboard melodies or an progressive guitar lick - this is what you'll find very often, but they all sound different. Pretty rare stuff. The yelling screams and short growls of their signer fit very well, also to not forget the clean parts, that are pretty impressing and give the album kind of a mystic touch.
The CD can be put into the midtempo section, yet there are many riffs that gain a pretty impressing fast speed.
This release should really be checked out be fans of progressive and many guitar solos, those who like it a bit more melodic, and also by all those fans of aussie metal(core)
Glorified are just at the beginning of their career and their future will be pretty huge!
Realisations is in my opinion a bringer of hope to the metal scene, because there are many ways to not just copy sounds. This band shows that creativity, the will to be different are the key to create an own and unique sound. And this one's solid also. These guys love music and exactly know what they want to do!
