Eddie and I have been writing reviews together for a few months with some developing skill. This past week, I had chose to forgo reviews due to a hectic schedule. But to my avail, two days ago I recieved a message from my review partner, “I really like the new release ‘I of Everything’ by IMPLODE”. I ignored his comment and went on my way until, this morning I am awoken with another message from Eddie, “
I really like this album, this is five stars.”Since Eddie is never really assertive about any thing, except when playing bass, I decided to follow a few links and see that Eddie had to say.
The Swedish metal act IMPLODE will release “I of Everything” on April 24th 2015. The Thrash Death Metal act is an artist with some established accolades, The band toured all over Europe in 2014 with Entombed AD, Grave, Rotting Christ, Twilight of The Gods, Negura Bunget and headlined a tour in Holland this December 2014.
“I of Everything” contains 13 songs that are divided into four chapters plus the single “Stress Communion” (released in September 2014, before the first EP).
“I of Everything” is IMPLODE’s second studio album and is quoted by the artist as being, “something completely different. Musically the IMPLODE is still all about their furious hard and technical metal as we know them.” This stands true per Eddie’s review as well.
Eddie goes on to say, “I really like this record. It’s aggressive and modern. I can’t place why it sounds familiar but I dig it.” Track 1 Tithonus sets the tone for the record and is aggressive from the first riff. Two other stand out songs of the album are Track 3 the transcend track and 8 Grail of Rust
Here is a bit more about the band and their development to the April 24th, 2015 release, “I of Everything” kicked-off the first release on 9th of September with the single and video “Stress Communion” which directly hit #2 on iTunes Charts in Sweden and #37 on the official Swedish DigiListan (the most popular songs streamed and sold in Sweden).
In October, IMPLODE started a long tour together with death metal legends Entombed AD and Grave, 21 shows in 16 countries all over Europe. In November the first chapter “Aeon Clockwork” was released and entered iTunes Chart at #1.
In December IMPLODE did a headline tour in Netherlands. In the end of January the second chapter “Terra Pericolosa” was released and entered directly to iTunes chart #1. Chapter III “A Syndicate” will be released 24th of March followed by the last chapter IV “I Tension” on 21st of April.
