Undertow In Deepest Silence

2013, Germany's Undertow likes to take long periods of time off in recording their albums, which has resulted in two more than three year breaks and one critically acclaimed album, 34CE. Now, the band is back after another three years with IN DEEPEST SILENCE, and they are looking as strong as ever. Their vocals could be straight off of an old Metallica album, and the riffs bring legendary Crowbar in the mind straight away. Somewhere along the course of the album, one gets the idea that Undertow is failing to get out of the shadow of these two bands, and makes one think of them just as the ´accident` child of them. And essentially, that's what IN DEEPEST SILENCE features: an effective mixture of epic progressive songs, swift and thrashy highlights á la early Metallica, and straight forward metal suitable for a fan of any metal subgenres.
