HOPELESS
– Our Declaration of War
Independent
HOPELESS
is an Italian combo that was formed in 2012 and three years later felt ready
and decided to release their debut EP bearing the title “Our Declaration of
War”. Musically, this trio delivers what we can identify as melodic death metal
but since this genre has a broad spectrum and is enriched with different
elements, this term alone isn’t enough.
So,
if I wanted to be more precise I’d say that the foundation of their music is
melodic death metal but upon it they build and add plenty of grooves and some
really nice intricate solos that offer more depth and variety to the end
result. The rhythm section is solid and concrete, other times being fast and
other times more mid paced and slow, while the vocals are either guttural or
have a more high pitched screaming hue. Both, though, are great and are tied
together perfectly with the grooves and the rhythm section. Lyric-wise now the
band deals with serious topics spanning from environmental disaster to society
and religion. All in all, “Our Declaration of War” is a really cool and
interesting piece of music that shows a talented band that has potential. The
fans of death metal should give them a try, cause they might find something
interesting here!
