Goodbye starts out with a great upfront guitar riff in the mix alongside some prominent keyboard work, but its Dylan Smith’s wide ranging vocal mix of clean, screams and growled efforts that really complements the song’s ever changing moods and tempos, and ultimately gives the band their killer core component sound.
The fast paced Vendetta once again sees Smith’s strong use of melodies pitted against the infectious waves of keyboards and the huge guitar riffs, while Misfire and Bury My Life showcase the band’s ability to delve more into gentle atmospherics in places.
Although the opening clutch of songs were impressive in their own right, it’s the final track Devastation where Deligma really deliver the aggression on all fronts, with the song not only standing as the most guitar driven of tracks, but also one that boasts some of Smith’s most vitriolic efforts on the vocal front alongside his huge hook driven choruses.
Part progressive, part nu-metal and part modern metal, Deligma is anything but a one-dimensional band, and one we’ll no doubt be hearing plenty more from in time to come.
