"Whoa! What can I say about this album??? It seems that whatever I am going to say, it isn't going to describe how I really feel about this band and this album in particular. Words cannot describe this! I could use the words 'amazing' or 'brilliant' or 'masterpiece' but this album is beyond amazing, beyond brilliant and beyond a masterpiece. In fact it is all those words put together along with many other words like 'brutal', 'extreme', 'incredible', etc that describe how this album will make you feel!
I normally don't like to compare bands to other bands, but I will compare this band to some other greats just so I can prove to anyone that this is a band that will be HUGE! in the extreme metal scene in the near future. I would compare Crionics to later Behemoth, later Emperor, Zyklon and even Death, but the comparisons would not stop there as Crionics could be compared to just about any extreme metal band out there today. But Crionics are one of a kind! Believe me!
Waran's vocals are just awesome! he can growl like a death metaller and growl like a black metaller, he can also sing as well, suppose that is the only slight disappointment of this whole album, he only uses clean vocals on one track, if he used them on other tracks, I'd be listening to this cd every day for the rest of my life! But hey, who cares, this album is still just all the words I've already used to describe it at the top of this review. Waran's guitar work is also incredible as well, he will certainly be one of the great metal masterminds of the future!
Vac-V's synthetic backgrounds are absolutely amazing as well!, It gives this album so much atmosphere! I definetly put his work up there with Emperor, who I think were the most effective with the use of keyboards (always created great atmosphere and never over did it like some other bands who use keyboards).
To some up Marcotic's bass lines and Darkside's drumming...Awesome!, Amazing!, they sum up the band = four individuals who are going to be one of the biggest extreme metal bands in the future!
Through the years we have seen many countries produce great metal bands, Sweden, Norway, Finland being the most recent in my opinion. Well we have another country beginning a new list of great metal bands...Poland! So far there has been Behemoth, Decapitated, Vader, and now Crionics! Who knows what else is yet to come!
I predict that Crionics will be one of the biggest extreme metal bands in the coming years! It may be too early to predict this seeing this is only their first album, but once so you listen to this album, you will see what I mean. This is extreme metal for the future!"
