Birmingham's Rising Metalcore outfit A Titan A Deity released their latest EP, Descendant, earlier last month. Formed in 2016, the five-piece has had some momentum behind them, appearing at several festivals in the UK, as well as earning support slots to Monuments, From Sorrow to Serenity, and Dropout Kings to name a few.
They combine blistering Tech Metal with progressive elements and combining harsh and clean vocals to create a unique sound for the band.
'Descendant' is a six-song collection, clocking in with just over twenty minutes, this gives an insight into the young Englishmen. 'Io' is a progressive song with some interesting time signatures and a dynamic sound. The Skyscraping ambiance sounds to accompany the soaring vocal melodies juxtaposed with aggressive howls and scintillating riffs.
Next up is the thunderous 'Revelations' with angular guitars, harsh vocals, and instrumental breakdowns. This track offers something different from the first track.
The band is aware of the sound they want to identify with going forward with some intelligent ideas with the instrumentation. The soundscapes vary between sorrow and despair with courage and hope.
'Bleak' is the more emotional track on the release with towering vocal melodies juxtaposed with conflicted harsh vocals. The EP takes a similar route to 'Heirloom', in which the riffs and vocals share some similarities with the latter. And finally, 'Oxygen' finishes with breathtaking instrumental breakdowns, fierce technical guitar plays, and emotive vocals.
Overall, A Titan A Deity aims to bring a fresh style of Progressive metal to the masses with some tight songwriting and awe-inspiring soundscapes.
