专辑介绍

The well known Munich band was much different in the early days. Who would have thought that after this progressive death metal EP with doom influences, an orchestral &And Thou Shalt Trust... The Seer& would be created? However i must tell you that this album is FAR from being simplistic and it clearly shows Asis Nasseri is an amazing composer not just in one genre.

&Progressive& is also an attack on society. The straightforward lyrics show us: the religious abuse of power in the middle ages, the abuse some children are put to, the ignorance of nowadays people, the discrepancy between morality and practicing medicine, the ultimate effect of war.

Musically, the record can be compared with Chuck Schuldiner's last albums. We have complex death metal riffs, but also a lot of melodic shred guitar solos. There are differences between Death's &Symbolic& and &Progressive& though. The growls on this album are more brutal and in addition they are frequently combined with clean &doomy& vocals that would successfully find place on Candlemass or Solitude Aeturnus songs. Similarly, both albums are based on pace changes, but there a couple of Death-Doom metal moments on &Progressive”, &Symbolic& never getting that slow. Despite that, fast and mid-paced is the majority of the EP. The drumming fits good with the music (blast beats, a little cymbal).

There are some surprise elements nonetheless. One of them would include the audible bass guitar on &Incapsulated& and &Progressive&. The first song enumerated also has the only keyboard-moment on the record (near the end of the song). The latter is a short 1:31 song (although still death metal done in the same manner of the other songs). A few acoustic guitar moments can be heard in the opener: &Charity Absurd&.

In conclusion, i don't really get why this EP is so well known. It's probably because Haggard's fan base is made of people that enjoy symphonic metal music and different metal genres. But trust me, if you like the more technical death metal, &Progressive& is going to be a great experience.(From metal-archives Review)
