|  | This Dutch band has apparently been around for a long time, according to the biography since 1996, in the meantime the band released a couple of demo’s and one full-length album.
You have to excuse me but before this album I never heard of them so I can’t compare the previous album with this one.
According to the promo sheet I got, they play Gothenburg death metal and by all means they actually do. Luckily it isn’t the cheesy version that you‘ve probably heard the last couple of years like the latter In flames or the latest Burden of grief etcetera. Escutcheon has a lot more balls than those releases. Of course you can hear influences of the old In flames but not just that band. At the gates, Dissection and Dark tranquillity also pop into my mind while listening to this album. What else left to say? That they write good songs while using their good musical capabilities and that the production is good with the right sphere and which is not too clean and still powerful.
You could describe this band as ’been there, done that’ but that wouldn’t justify this band.
Fact is that they deliver an album which gives other bands something to think about what the hell they are doing.
Just a very good album.
