Lost Hopes and Hidden Regrets

As a E.P opener these guys opened with a great songs it jumps straight in to a pumping chord progression followed by a quality little riff. It gives you a brilliant sense of what the band are going for straight away. The vocalist gives a solid performance bouncing between a higher register scream to a lower chest scream so effortlessly I was begging to think there was a second vocalist at times. Awesome song brilliantly written go check it out you won’t regret it!

Lay Another Scar on my Soul

This track was pretty immense when I first heard such an anthem but that may have been down to the fact I was playing Halo at the time it gave me a great feeling when popping some grunts! But any who, this is a brilliant song by DFD great power to it and has a quality intro really gets you pumped before the drop when the vocalist comes in to an extremely fitting dual riff between both guitarists. I feel through all the tracks the guitarists shine through on this one they give so much to this song in the breakdowns especially towards the end.

Another great song by DFD one of my favourite tracks I have heard from them!

My Sin is Life

Excellent riffage, solid as f*ck vocals, Rhythm section meaning it! I think as a whole that is the best way I can describe this song hits the nail on the head as metal track goes. Great energy I feel it would be one of the best tracks in there live arsenal.

Where You Can’t See

This is easily the behemoth of the at first I was a bit unsure about the length of the intro but as it went on I was slowly digging it more and more and now I love it! I can picture this to be an epic ballad in the live scene. Every member of this band bring so much to this song I was feeling the kick from the drumming for days after listening to this and the guitarists just complement each other so perfectly throughout and again fill it with so much energy. The vocalist also went doing his seamless transitions throughout which pretty much adds a second vocalist all by himself.

Conclusion

Destined For Damnations E.P as a whole is a great little record it is very solid in its styling and has a brilliant power to it throughout. The band as a whole seem a very tight nit group of musicians with a solid basis and potential to storm the metal world. My highlight and favourite track has to be Where You Can’t See.

Rating: 9.10/10 I love it only thing that brings it down for me is I feel a few clean vocals could fill it out a bit more and make it all a bit more interesting other than that a spot on E.P. Great work guys!
