Death/Doom Metal, Dallamos Death Metal, CD kiadvány, 2020.
Hailing from Kharkiv, Black Metal capital of Ukraine, METTADONE was formed by the drummer and composer Evgeniy Shamarin in 2014 as gothic doom duo. After release debut album with help of sesion musicians year later, bass and guitar player were added to line-up and band played some shows in 2016.
But the real story begun in January 2017 when just before the show singer decided leave the band, so Evgeniy was forced took his vocals duties and change later his drum-kit for guitar. With new drummer band changed their musical direction towards death metal strongly influenced by classic European sound of mid 90th and such bands like HYPOCRISY, EDGE OF SANITY and PARADISE LOST.
On „Rotten Flattery” Mettadone reaches into classic death metal and doom and combines the two into a fairly unique and technically very proficient album. They can shred and blast with the best death metallers without forgetting about good melodies, memorability and insightful if a little challenging songwriting, sometimes a little on the progressive side. I wish they would expand the clean melodic side whilst reducing the craziness of some of the rhythms but hopefully that will come later. „Rotten Flattery” is already one of the freshest and most impressive death/doom works of this year.
