Italian death metallers, Forgotten Tears, gives an endless amount of brutality with their first fullength, “Words to End”. A Combination of metalcore, death metal and thrash is one of the ways to describe the album but that just scratches the surface. The titletrack dives right in with Faust’s savage vocals and melancholy rhythm that change back and forth to a forceful speed to slow and somber.
The aggression level doesn’t drop until you reach until you hit “Reflection” and “Eye” which is a nice instrumental piece and breaks up the album a little but everything before and after is at full force which I don’t have a problem at all with. “Thoughts Killed My Sleep” is a great atmospheric track with keyboards and special effects happening in the background but doesn’t take away from the ferocity in any way. There are some cleaner and melodic vocals mixed which is a nice change too.
Forgotten tears is not doing anything that hasn’t been done before but they have the skill and talent to pull this kind of metal while still making it interesting for the listener. I highly recommend you make “Words of End” part of your metal collection!
