![]() ![]() not a ton slower by any means, they still maintain a good pace. It has a nice pace to it, and I am really digging the change of pace when the vocals come in. #4) Ritual of Regret – Nathan makes quick time getting this song set up and on target. I mean this is what I am talking about, absolutely brilliant sounding. I love the orchestration behind that guitar solo. ![]() That last solo starting at the 4:58 mark is spectacular. It really highlights their ability to go the distance with so much spice added to the song structure. I believe this is one of the singles they released and for good reason. I am really digging the technical death metal bands that have the black metal style weaved throughout in subtle form. I must admit my interest was piqued with Blackened technical death metal but damn I like what I am hearing. I’m not a big black metal fan, but, around 1:20, they eloquently begin to melt faces with that frenzy of blasts and guitar riffage. I get a bit more of a black metal vibe on this track. #3) Sisyphean Cycle – Sisyphean cycle- grim intro with the vocals, a much slower start to a track than the last one. I knew they were coming out with something so I held off listening to stuff from their first album until this album graced my hard drive. To be honest, this is my first chance listening to Singularity. Whoo, that is a Ric Flair-esqe guitar solo towards the end of the song there. Man the guitars just lure the listener right in. He can definitely hold his own that is made clear right now. I mean the guy was touring with Alterbeast and filling in on drums for others at the same time. I am sitting in awe listening to Nathans drums. They give you hell for a solid minute and then ease up on the listener. I feel like I do not even need to listen to the rest of this song to make my mind at how awesome it is. Jack just got everyone’s attention with that brilliant line. I need to give praise to these guys for beginning with “LET THE GAMES BEGIN” how can you begin an album with a more badass line than that. #2 Victory Or Death- Hot damn this one is right out of the gate with rapid-fire blast beats, and menacing guitars. They pack a combo of killer instrumental work right before fading into Victory or Death. More than just a mere introductory track. A nice solo to finish things off and moving right in to the next track. Then boom 1:40 things kick it up a level. The first minute and a half has no drums. While it may seem like a simple thing, some bands blow it in my opinion. I love when a band has a solid introductory track. #1) Bellum -The intro, what a nice lead up into the next track. I am also going to cover track #6 Desmoterion since that would make five songs with lyrical content, and also longer than 3 minutes in length. I would only be talking about the first 5 tracks, however the first track is an introductory, and without lyrical content. I’m not going to waste any time hyping this one up. Place Of Chains is on another level, its album of the year material in my book. There were some I was excited about, and were exactly what I expected from them. There were not many albums that came out this year that impressed me thoroughly. It is awesome, I mean better than some of the stuff I have been hearing for the past ten months. Tempe, Arizona based misfits Singularity is back with a new album dropping very shortly, and I have to tell you people.
