Mind Terrorist are a band with a lot of experience behind them, at their third studio work for the Teutonic OPOS Records, a record that characterizing it as "Metalcore" is reductive because, in addition to the evident influences of groups such as As I Lay Dying, Soilwork and similar, there is also a predisposition for some sounds to Soulfly, Sepultura and Nevermore (it is no coincidence that they have opened the concert in Larissa of the late Warrell Dane). The album is full of melodies, mostly melancholy, surrounded by several strong riffs, with a double granite and earthquake case. Each piece of course, besides the melodies, offers many moments that will surely stir up a bit of mosh in the live phase. Despite the clear denomination "core", I found a lot of heterogeneity even in the breakdowns and it is curious how the presence of some patterns recalling the beatdown has been exploited. What I liked most is the whole feeling of guitars and bass in many of their compositions, whose incarnation reminds me of something hardcore punk from the late 90s. On the other hand, what seems relatively tortuous are the voices that, compared to a metalcore product, are not performed with scream vocals; the voice of our Kostas, beautiful scratchy and present, will not be hyper-technical but certainly good for compositions. It is precisely the voice that is also the mole of this album, sometimes too repetitive and not pressing as it should, but it is about smallness and subjective opinions. A nice record this "A moment to eternity", we are waiting for good news from the guys who are currently in temporary stop.
