Progressive tech Metal is certainly in the ascendency and Cambion have clearly joined the party.
Virus released in April is an expansion of their debut EP into album format. Fronted by the enigmatically named Elliott Alderman-Broom you would expect a career forged in diplomatic circles rather than the powerfully angry roar that defines this hugely entertaining outfit.
The trick to this album is the unexpectedly expansive instrumentals which elevate it from run of the mill post hardcore nu metal into the tech genre. The diseased, demise and redemption subject matter may not be to everyone’s taste but it’s a cleverly executed and produced effort that is definitely worth a listen.
Having played Bloodstock twice and numerous euro fests they have earned their spurs and demand respect. If you like it loud and powerful then this is for you.
7/11
