Sweeping Death, the German progressive metal band, shows itself once again with its charming but energetic new EP, Tristesse. This piece is a captivating combination of the band’s core metal roots, more advanced artificial formations, and progressive undertones. Although this EP consists of only three tracks, the elegiac and sharp metal sound of each track captivates the listener’s attention and holds it for the duration of the track. Each track showcases the magnificence of the band’s technical ability matched with a brilliant creative vision. The soul stirring otherworldly heavy riffs and complex melodies of Alter the Rift and Sublime Me are breathtaking. The furious sound keeps the listener engaged from the very first beat until the last note. Once again, Sweeping Death shows itself unafraid of the risks with its signature sore and powerful sound still intact.
