Act Of Creation is the name of the melodic death/thrash metal quintet hailing from Siegen, Germany and they are presenting their album “Moments To Remain”. Right from the get go, they make their signature sound crystal clear: brutal, action, speed and adrenaline-packed. Vocals growled and yet melodic, guitars influenced from both of the band’s main genres, drums reaching insane speeds and bass gorgeously blended in, this release is surely one to get your blood flowing. Their overall presence is outstanding, with riffs ever so catchy and vocal lines with excellent delivery they manage to make their sound unique. With the death metal genre being one of my favorites of the scene, I must say this release surprised me for good. The band’s new ideas and perfect execution give another meaning to the umbrella that is extreme metal. From swaying to the guitar, to headbanging to the drums and vice versa, this record is ruthless and out for blood. The vocals will have you on a vice grip right from the first note and the instrumentals are sure to have you rocking out. Each track feels different yet with the gorgeous essence of mind slicing playing and singing. For me, this release is a very strong addition to Act Of Creation’s discography and an album definitely worth listening to.
