<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Genre: Melodic Death Metal</h5>



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Release: 21.02.&#8217;25 </h5>



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Label: Noble Demon</h5>



<p><strong>Die Finnen VOIDFALLEN (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/voidfallenofficial">Facebook</a>) sind mit ihrem zweite Album &#8222;The Rituals of Resilience&#8220; am Start. Ursprünglich als Zwei-Mann-Projekt im Jahr 2019 von den Gitarristen Tommi Kangaskortet und Henri Vuorenmaa gegründet, wurde das Line Up mit schießlich weiteren Musikern komplettiert, um auch für Live-Auftritte gewappnet zu sein. Ihr Debütalbum &#8222;The Atlas of Spiritual Apocalypse&#8220; erschien 2021 und nun ist man bereit für den nächsten Angriff auf die Death Metal Szene. Und der fällt heftig aus!</strong></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hochwertig</h3>



<p><strong>Das Debüt wandelte schon auf sehr harten Pfaden und diesen Pfad hat man auch mit dem neuen Album beschritten. Da sich das Debüt technisch bereits auf einem beeindruckend hohen Level abgespielt hat, kann man sich bei dem neuen Album ebenfalls auf eine großartige Show freuen. Es dauert auch nicht lange, bis beim Opener &#8222;Threads of Blood&#8220; die Fetzen fliegen. Der kraftvolle vor Melodien strotzende Sound türmt sich zu monumentaler Größe auf. VOIDFALLEN setzen weiter auf atmosphärische Synthie-Untermalung, die auch mit orchestralen Elementen arbeitet, wie es z.B. bei &#8222;Hymn For The Fallen&#8220; deutlich zum Ausruck kommt. Dadurch entstehen durchaus interessante und ansprechende Klanglandschaften.</strong></p>



<p><strong>VOIDFALLEN verschaffen ihren Songs durchweg einen gewaltigen Auftritt und scheuen sich auch nicht in extreme Bereiche zu steuern. &#8222;Starved of Martyrs</strong>&#8220; <strong>beispielsweise gerät zum Ende in einen unglaublichen Geschwindigkeitsrausch. </strong></p>

</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Extreme Ausbrüche</h3>



<p><strong>werden euch häufiger auf dem Album begegnen. &#8222;The Original Wound&#8220; ist z.B. eine brachiale Zerstörungsorgie epischen Ausmaßes, was durch orchestrale Elemente verstärkt wird. Es ist ein unheimlich dynamischer abwechslungsreicher Song, der mit einer starken atmosphärischen Dichte punktet. Ich bin beeindruckt!</strong> <strong>Und damit sind wir bei einem großen Pluspunkt von VOIDFALLEN. Sie gehen zwar unheimlich aggressiv vor, erschaffen aber in ihren Attacken immer wieder erhabene Mo(nu)mente, um ein großartiges Ambiente zu erzeugen. Das gründet auf einem hohen technischen Level, den die Musiker hier in allen Bereichen demonstrieren. Viel Dynamik und Raffinesse prägen den Sound.</strong></p>

</div></figure>



<p><strong>Überrascht hat man mich dann noch beim letzten Song &#8222;The Mourning Shores&#8220;, wo ich unerwartet cleane Vocals zu hören bekam, die den Song einleiten. Davon war die ganze Zeit vorher nichts zu hören. Der Song beinhaltet auch gesprochene Vocalparts. Mir gefällt die Struktur des Songs mit seinen verschiedenen besonderen Akzenten. Er hebt sich in einer Reihe von Songs ab, die alle durchweg qualitativ hochwertig sind. Ich mir mehr solcher außergewöhnlicher Ideen auch auf dem Album vorstellen können.</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fazit</h3>



<p><strong>VOIDFALLEN liefern mit &#8222;The Rituals of Resilience&#8220; einen würdigen Nachfolger des starken Debütalbums. Konzeptionell bleibt man sich treu und demonstriert</strong> <strong>mit 10 Songs monumentalen melodischen Death-Metal, der heftig einschlägt und einen starken Eindruck hinterlässt. Der Sound ist noch gewaltiger worden und es gibt auch extreme Ausbrüche</strong>, <strong>die sich in verschiedenen Formen manifestieren. Dadurch kristallisiert sich ein dynamischer Sound heraus, der mit viel Raffinesse präsentiert wird.</strong></p>

And it&#8217;s going to be fierce!</strong></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">High quality</h3>



<p><strong>The debut was already on a very hard path and this path has also been followed with the new album. As the debut was already on an impressively high technical level, you can also look forward to a great show with the new album. It doesn&#8217;t take long and the sound immediately cranks up with the opener &#8222;Threads of Blood&#8220;. The powerful sound, bursting with melodies, builds up to monumental proportions. VOIDFALLEN continue to rely on atmospheric synth background music, which also works with orchestral elements, as is clearly expressed in &#8222;Hymn For The Fallen&#8220;, for example. This results in interesting and appealing soundscapes.</strong></p>



<p><strong>VOIDFALLEN give their songs a powerful performance throughout and are not afraid to go to extremes. &#8222;Starved of Martyrs&#8220;, for example, gets into an incredible frenzy of speed towards the end.</strong></p>

</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Extreme outbreaks</h3>



<p><strong>you will encounter more frequently on the album. &#8222;The Original Wound&#8220;, for example, is a brute orgy of destruction on an epic scale, which is reinforced by orchestral elements. It is an incredibly dynamic and varied song that scores with a strong atmospheric density. I am impressed! And that brings us to a big plus point for VOIDFALLEN. Although they are incredibly aggressive, they always create sublime mo(nu)ments in their attacks to create a great ambience. This is based on a high technical level, which the musicians demonstrate here in all areas. The sound is characterized by a lot of dynamics and sophistication.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="video-container"><iframe title="Voidfallen - Tread With The Ghosts (Official Music Video) | Noble Demon" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/alL1EuTCIlE?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p><strong>I was surprised by the last song &#8222;The Mourning Shores&#8220;, where I unexpectedly heard clean vocals introducing the song. I hadn&#8217;t heard any of that before. The song also contains spoken vocal parts. I like the structure of the song with its various special accents. It stands out in a line of songs that are all consistently high quality. I could imagine more of these unusual ideas on the album.</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h3>



<p><strong>With &#8222;The Rituals of Resilience&#8220;, VOIDFALLEN deliver a worthy follow-up to their strong debut album. Conceptually, the band remains true to itself and demonstrates monumental melodic death metal with 10 songs, which hits hard and leaves a strong impression. The sound has become even more powerful and there are also extreme outbursts that manifest themselves in various forms. This crystallizes a dynamic sound that is presented with great finesse.</strong></p>
