@Typhux I must also respectfully disagree. There are no laws in metal. How can the mind "justify" what the ears are hearing. Just "listen" to the song and you might find that without the unnecessary analysis: your ears are experiencing the "Sum of great musicianship". Cheers!
I'm actually sitting with their drummer right now at work. Mortuus Machina, yes it does translate to Dead Machine, but in context it means "the killing machine".
@ABitterPlague Christian is indeed the former vocalist of Scar Symmetry, Currently in "Solution .45" and "Miseration" - as well as multiple other projects :)
Hey guys, its Sheri Vengeance here. I'm a bit late with this but just letting you know this is a killer track and the vocal work is amazing. Hopefully i get to catch you in your element soon :)
You guys got some really bad reviews I really cant understand it, you are together with Fractal Gates and Belakor one of the best new bands. Only thing that needs improvement is the production, I can barely hear the guitars and the bass.
No joke, when it reached to the solo at 1:37, i've heard the first note and i instantly knew it was Marios from Nightrage playing it. Such a unique sound! This song is tits!
They both have fairly similar voices. But the main growling vocals are not done by Christian, only the cleans and the low low growls in the chorus. Strangely enough, Bjorn sounded more like Christian during Natural Born Chaos if you listen to Follow the Hollow or Black Star Deciever.
This is going to be a freakin sweet year for Universum, you got some Alvestam fans that didn't know about their existence and plus the already huge fanbase they already have, heck yesssssss
It's finally here! My months of agonizing waiting finally paid off... the entire album is epic. Especially the songs featuring christian. Phenomenal piece of work this is. Especially 2:30 - 2:45.... eargasm
Christian doesn't does all the growl, just some parts! Universum's "original" vocalist does fucking great work over here! But Chrisitian, you brings some awesomeness!
WTH, I thought the 15 was the release date........there is nothing on their website saying anything, does anyone know the legit release date......oh lord WHY, WHHYYY must I go through this? :/
@Ripjaw57 just listened to 1:30 samples on their myspace,its fucking awsome,espeicially the alvstam track,2.0 is great not sure about the release date i want this
What a great early Christmas present this is. What more could you ask for, brutal vocalist from Universum with the one and only Christian Alvestam with soaring melodic death metal guitar riffs and kick ass drums. Thank you guys for this great early Christmas present. Keep it metal \m/\m/
I truly can not wait for this album! Universum means very damn much to me,I was in a hit and run accident a few years ago and I was the victim,I found out about this band during that same time and they helped me through all the dark emotions I was goin through!
They are keeping a tight lid on this, I remember finding all the song's of solution .45's albulm three days before the release date,so far we only got this track......keep on waiting I guess.
I KNEW THIS WOULD BE FUCKING AWSOME COULDNT EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE FROM ALVESTAM,WHAT A MUSICAL GENIUS,I SWEAR HE COULD SING RAP WHICH I HATE AND IT WOULD BE HAIR RAISINGLLY EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCKING AMAZING, GUYS! Ever since I heard the clip of the chorus on the teaser, I've been dying to hear the full song. This sounds just like old Scar Symmetry, I fucking love it. The chorus makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, it's epic.
One of the best Melodeath bands out there... Its a shame that they arent better known...
