Debut CD 2003. Warblade could very well be Rochester, New York's answer to Dark Tranquillity and Vesperian Sorrow at once, resulting in a nearly perfect class of melodic death metal with an unyielding penchant for black metal grimness. Based on the mentioned influences, one can easily envision the quality of music that lies ahead. Naturally, the vocals are of the harsh death/black metal division, and are executed without mishap. Guitar work ranges from mid-paced grooves to lightning fast fret fury, all the while remaining melodic. The proverbial Iron Maiden trademark of dual harmonies are prominent and construct the framework for each arrangement. Typically we find that the bass is the sheep to the guitars shepard, following identical phrases. This is not the case here. The bass has an identity all its own and really injects each song with a dose of freshness. A remarkable drum assault holds it all together like glue, being varied and, at times fairly complex. Tempo and shape shifting is the name of the game on this album. It even reminds of the demo-only band Shadowlord and At The Gates or Dissection.
Scanned and ripped from my personal collection.
(The band sent this to me to play on my radio show Sonic Insanity, which we surely did)
