On the split, MORTAL SCEPTER passed over the ears with a merciless cannonade, leaving no survivors behind. The music in the vein of early KREATOR was as energetic and authentic as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, on the album, MORTAL SCEPTER decided to go dear to many other groups that gained professionalism. They noticeably reduced the pace and focused on the technique of performance, which is a repulsive factor for me. On the one hand, there is more originality in music - now only vocal reminds of KREATOR. On the other hand, this material is not particularly touching. Well, yes, cool, old school, trashy... * yawn *. The album sounds powerful and resilient, but still somehow insipid. Guitars are not allowed to turn around at all; they are like a tight spring. The darker face also doesn't fit the band. Considering the sound, these dark songs make the album look like a bag of cement or something as homogeneous and gray. I really want to love \"Where Light Suffocates\", to find some point to move on further, but I can not. It recalls the albums that preceded the decline of the era of good Thrash Metal - technically wonderful, but slightly tired and \u201cdisinterested\u201d. Therefore, I remain in close relations with the split, and let the album look for other fans for itself - I am sure it will find a lot of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 753px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=642663268\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=4ec5ec\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mortalscepter.bandcamp.com\/album\/where-light-suffocates\">Where Light Suffocates by Mortal Scepter<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0413\u043e\u0434 \u0432\u044b\u0445\u043e\u0434\u0430:\u00a02019 \u0418\u0437\u0434\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c:\u00a0Xtreem Music \u041e\u0446\u0435\u043d\u043a\u0430:\u00a07,3 \/ 10 \u041d\u0435\u0434\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e \u044f \u0440\u0435\u0446\u0435\u043d\u0437\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043b\u00a0\u0441\u043f\u043b\u0438\u0442\u00a0\u044d\u0442\u043e\u0439 \u0433\u0440\u0443\u043f\u043f\u044b \u0441 \u0435\u0451 \u0441\u043e\u043e\u0442\u0435\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0438 DEATHRONED, \u0438 \u043c\u043e\u0438 \u043e\u0436\u0438\u0434\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f \u043e\u0442 \u0434\u0435\u0431\u044e\u0442\u0430 \u0444\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0446\u0443\u0437\u043e\u0432 \u0431\u044b\u043b\u0438 \u043a\u0440\u0430\u0439\u043d\u0435 \u0432\u044b\u0441\u043e\u043a\u0438. \u041d\u0430 \u0441\u043f\u043b\u0438\u0442\u0435 MORTAL SCEPTER \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0445\u043e\u0434\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0441\u044c \u043f\u043e \u0443\u0448\u0430\u043c \u0431\u0435\u0441\u043f\u043e\u0449\u0430\u0434\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u043a\u0430\u043d\u043e\u043d\u0430\u0434\u043e\u0439, \u043d\u0435 \u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u043b\u044f\u044f \u0437\u0430 \u0441\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0439 \u0432\u044b\u0436\u0438\u0432\u0448\u0438\u0445. \u041c\u0443\u0437\u044b\u043a\u0430 \u0432 \u0434\u0443\u0445\u0435 \u0440\u0430\u043d\u043d\u0438\u0445 KREATOR \u0431\u044b\u043b\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043e\u043b\u044c\u043a\u043e \u044d\u043d\u0435\u0440\u0433\u0438\u0447\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u0438 \u0430\u0443\u0442\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0438\u0447\u043d\u043e\u0439, \u043d\u0430\u0441\u043a\u043e\u043b\u044c\u043a\u043e \u044d\u0442\u043e \u0432\u043e\u0437\u043c\u043e\u0436\u043d\u043e. \u041a \u0441\u043e\u0436\u0430\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044e, \u043d\u0430 \u0430\u043b\u044c\u0431\u043e\u043c\u0435&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1695,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arch","wpcat-8-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1694"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1694\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1696,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1694\/revisions\/1696"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bagnik-zine.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
