The album showcases a diverse range of metal genres, blending melodic heavy, groove, speed, power, and elements of doom metal.
The opening track, ‘Rites Of The Eclipse,’ sets a haunting tone with its eerie instrumental composition, paving the way for a sonic adventure that traverses through various metal subgenres. From the progressive sounds of ‘Away’ to the doom-laden heaviness of ‘War And Pain,’ Visualis demonstrates a remarkable versatility in their music, keeping listeners engaged with unexpected shifts in tempo and style.
‘Heritage’ introduces a folk metal vibe, swiftly transitioning into a Southern-style swagger that merges influences from Skyclad, Aerosmith, and retro swing. The band’s ability to seamlessly blend these elements creates a unique listening experience that defies conventional genre boundaries.
As the album progresses, tracks like ‘Dreamchaser’ and ‘Faith To Hell’ showcase the band’s prowess in power metal, delivering electrifying riffs and headbanging rhythms. Visualis continues to push boundaries with tracks like ‘Coma,’ which infuses elements of doom, alternative, and grunge metal, adding layers of complexity to their sonic tapestry.
With each song, Visualis embarks on a musical odyssey, exploring a wide spectrum of metal styles that range from industrial metal in ‘Human’ to traditional heavy metal anthems like ‘Metal Oath.’ The band’s dynamic range and fearless experimentation culminate in the epic conclusion of ‘Sons Of The Sun,’ a seven-and-a-half-minute opus that encapsulates their diverse musical influences.
