The official history of Forgotten Silence has the rare gift of being a truly immersive read. Whilst devouring every word, I was the whole time taken over by joyous shivers, which I usually do not get when reading any literature of this kind. Then, with the final words, I succumbed to grief that I am at the end and desired nothing else but start reading again.

Six Degrees Of Separation

Old Dogs

Total time: 50:55 * Style: metal * MetalGate 2020

Tracklist

Lunacy Mantra / Standing on the Shoulders of / Blind Date with the Past / Best for Me / Common Aim Ltd / In between / Thoughtfull Sheep (Coming of age) / Moral Sportsmanship / Tied by Shame / For the little girl / Last Days of Sisyphus / Thin Line

This is a breath of fresh air stylistically. SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION can confidently say that they don’t sound too similar to other contemporaries, and they take bigger risks than a lot of metal bands (like the ‘why don’t you just lie down’ part in “Last Days of Sisyphus where all the other instruments cut out). This is a good album for someone burnt out on the standard tropes of modern metal bands, THRASH METAL, or any of the other places SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION draw inspiration from.

Chariots of the Gods / Arrival / Nile / Sachmet / Curse of Reincarnation / 19.07.13 / Stardust / Follow the Sphinx / Ambrosia / Ungrateful / Vanishing Out of the Earth

Balance. The album is all about balance for me... There is a synergy present here and each member of the band contributes equally. They are also all very talented musicians, honing their songwriting into a near-masterpiece of an album. Grandiose, yet subtle arrangements, with crystal clear production, is what you can expect. Any fans of Melodic Death/Symphonic Metal will surely like this.
