The Toronto ║ │ │║ trio made it clear with their cover of Black æn ║ │ │║ BlueÆs ôChains Around Heavenö on their 2009 ║ │ │║ debut, and each subsequent effort inches closer ║ │ │║ to perfect accessibility. 2016Æs In Ruin was an ║ │ │║ excellent balance of heavy and catchy, making ║ │ │║ one wonder how itÆll turn out when the groupÆs ║ │ │║ fifth full-length promises to go even further ║ │ │║ into the latter. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ For what itÆs worth, Cauldron pulls this style ║ │ │║ off pretty well. The guitar preserves the icy ║ │ │║ tone of past outings and the band has had a ║ │ │║ flair for 80s-style reverb in their productions ║ │ │║ since the early days, so they certainly had a ║ │ │║ solid foundation to work with. Most of the ║ │ │║ polish went into bassist/vocalist Jason DecayÆs ║ │ │║ performance. His bass sounds cleaner and his ║ │ │║ singing seems more composed while still boasting ║ │ │║ that somewhat nasally delivery. IÆm not sure if ║ │ │║ he underwent any training between albums, but ║ │ │║ itÆs clear that a more concentrated effort was ║ │ │║ made to make his voice more palatable. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The songwriting also does a pretty good job of ║ │ │║ building off what the band had done before to ║ │ │║ achieve a more accessible vision. ôLetting Goö ║ │ │║ was a great single choice, but ôTogether as ║ │ │║ Noneö is easily the albumÆs most stellar moment. ║ │ │║ The upbeat chug in conjunction with the ║ │ │║ infectious chorus makes for an anthem that the ║ │ │║ guys in Dokken would kick themselves for not ║ │ │║ having written first. ItÆs the one song on here ║ │ │║ that I could see being an honest to gods hit ║ │ │║ back in the day. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ But for an old school party metal album, New ║ │ │║ Gods does feel a little too slow in parts. Songs ║ │ │║ like ôPrisoner of the Pastö and ôNo Longerö are ║ │ │║ well written but feel rather stilted when the ║ │ │║ guitars are relegated to open chords and set to ║ │ │║ such sluggish drum beats. ôDrownö and ôLast ║ │ │║ Requestö bring in some energy bursts but their ║ │ │║ placement toward the albumÆs end does somewhat ║ │ │║ diminish the impact. IÆm sure a revamped track ║ │ │║ listing would make for a more energetic listen, ║ │ │║ but it would still feel rather stiff overall. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In Ruin may have been the most ideal execution ║ │ │║ of CauldronÆs sleazy take on classic metal, but ║ │ │║ New Gods never goes off the deep end. The style ║ │ │║ never feels watered down and the songwriting is ║ │ │║ pleasant enough to make even the lesser songs ║ │ │║ enjoyable. If youÆd listened to the band before ║ │ │║ and were put off by the vocals, this may be a ║ │ │║ good time to reconsider them. Also guaranteed to ║ │ │║ be better than anything that the old glam guard ║ │ │║ will release this year. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Highlights: ║ │ │║ ôLetting Goö ║ │ │║ ôDrownö ║ │ │║ ôTogether as Noneö ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Originally published at ║ │ │║ http://indymetalvault.com ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Prisoner Of The Past [03:35] │ │ 02 - Letting Go [04:29] │ │ 03 - No Longer [05:09] │ │ 04 - Save The Truth/Syracuse [05:53] │ │ 05 - Never Be Found [05:04] │ │ 06 - Drown [04:50] │ │ 07 - Together As None [04:32] │ │ 08 - Isolation [02:47] │ │ 09 - Last Request [04:41] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [41:00 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
