Entropia – Vesper (2013)

cover

Hailing from Poland, today we have Entropia and their debut full-length release “Vesper”. Mixing Black Metal with some Sludge and Post-Metal elements, this band shows great promise in their six tracks spanning over 49 minutes of music. While not being overly cliché, the band nicely mixes different influences to create some interesting atmospheres in their very decently crafted sound.

Opening with “Dante”, we get a typical Black Metal opening followed by some powerful atmospheric keyboards and some solid Sludge/Post-Metal rhythmical section. “Gauss” shows off some of the band’s more melodic side while keeping their effective riffs and very well paced drums. Things get a bit more dramatic with the harsh screams of desperation in “Pascal”, one of the best tracks in this release thanks to the very slow tempo and rawness of the song.

Our favorite track in this release is the lush and highly atmospheric “Vesper”. The band changes the flow of the album very dramatically with this track and it shows their musical depth. “Tesla” nicely combined Black Metal with some Post-Rock influenced guitars making this song quite entertaining. On the closer, “Marat”, the band continues with their demolishing riffing attack but features some nice keyboard hints that give the track a very powerful atmospheric element.

In general, “Vesper” is quite an entertaining and solid debut release from this Polish outfit. The band’s sound is still maturing, but they have a very solid foundation and interesting ideas to not sound like the rest of the bands out there.
