Dead End are a band from the Netherlands that has been around since the mid 80's and plays an old school form of doom/death metal and this is a review of their album "Forever Is Not Eternal" which will be released in 2015 by Vic Records.
A very dark, melodic and old school sound starts off the album and after a minute death metal growls are added into the music and after awhile solos and leads are added into certain sections of the recording and they also bring in more darkness and melody to the bands musical style which is also heavily rooted in early 90's doom and death metal.
At times a small amount of violins are added into certain parts of some of the tracks and all of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them along with a few of the tracks being long and epic in length and some of the songs also bring in a few seconds of classical guitars and spoken word parts.
As the album progresses some of the songs start bringing in small amounts of keyboards and whispers which also gives the bands musical style more of an atmospheric edge while some of the alter songs bring in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a small amount of blast beats which shows the more old school death meal side of the bands musical style and some of the later tracks also bring in a small amount of high pitched screams.
Dead End bring s in 2 different sides with their musical style having more of a melodic doom/death metal sound on some of the tracks while going into more of a traditional and old school style of death metal on some of the later songs and the album sounds like it could of easily been recorded and released in the 90's, the production sound very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Dead End are a very great sounding old school mixture of doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Forever" "Revelations" "Joke" and "Tales From Real Life". 8 out of 10.
