Sculptured - Embodiment

Sculptured - Embodiment

Sculpured - Embodiment

The End Records
It's been eight years since we've last heard from Sculptured. Guitarist/vocalist Don Anderson has been busy with his other band, Agalloch, but found some time to record a new Sculptured disc. He recruited some excellent musicians for this incarnation of the band, including keyboardist Andy Winter (Winds, Age Of Silence), bassist Jason Walton (Agalloch), vocalist Tom Wailing and drummer Dave Murray (Estradasphere).

Embodiment is progressive death metal with complex and epic songs. Sculptured masterfully combines melody with experimental and dynamic progressive elements. The 5 tracks on the album clock in at 40 minutes, which is the optimum length. The length of the songs give plenty of time for everything to unfold and showcase the band's musical chops and songwriting chops. But before things devolve into self-indulgence the album is over.

The vocals are mostly death metal growls, but there is some melodic singing as well. Embodiment excels at exploring many different tempos and textures. From slow, retro-sounding rock to aggressive pummeling metal, this is a CD that will engage and mesmerize discerning metal fans.

(released February 19, 2008 on The End Records)
