New Formed Revelations is the third album by Croatian four-piece Infernal Tenebra. The band was able to have this material mixed and mastered by top-producer Jens Bogren at his Fascination Street Studio (think: Turisaz, Amon Amarth, Be’lakor, Borknagar, Paradise Lost, Gwyllion and many more), which attests the full, great sound.This album has nothing to do with Black Metal anymore. In the past, Infernal Tenebra were formed as a Black Metal formation, slightly evolving into a Black / Death-oriented combo, yet this progression has now come to a peak with a total lack of the early elements (except for the technical approach, nothing reminds to the early years).New Formed Revelations is a very technically written and performed full length. The solid rhythms and dynamic solos, the ingenious breaks and changes in tempo, all of them have been created with eye for detail. At the same time, the band succeeds to maintain a specific melodic and modern approach. A strength is the combination of such a technically skilled performance with the brutality exposed in each single track.In contradiction to these positive words, I’m not completely convinced. First of all I do miss an own face. Infernal Tenebra have been inspired by the Swedish, German, Polish and American scene (no doubt!) and sometimes it is much too evident. Secondly, there are no mistakes on the album, yet no outstanding killers either. Therefor not one single effort on the album is memorable for eternity. And finally, because of the vocals and drum patterns, the border with the modern North-American Metalcore scene is way too nigh, and that invalidates the power of the album.With this third full length, Infernal Tenebra surely do represent a new league of technically skilled Modern Death Metal bands from the Baltic area. I do give them the benefit of doubt, and maybe they’ll see the darkness behind the light again?...
