DEVILISH IMPRESSION “Simulacra”

DEVILISH IMPRESSION
“Simulacra”
(Lifeforce)
There used to be a time when Devilish Impression were all over the press. You could not turn up a page without seeing them. Then all went silent and they seemed to have vanished down a rabbit hole. You couldn’t find them even if you searched with the brightest flashlight available. Turn to 2012 and a new album sees the light of the day. Will they be able to pick up where they left off? Has a new generation of extreme metal fans come along that has no memory of them? That is all to be seen. What can be said is that Devilish Impression does not seem to have softened. This is just as I remembered then to sound like. There is a symphonic element to it that might make you think of a cross between Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth. If that sounds enticing and you haven’t checked them out yet then this is your chance to acquaint yourself with Devilish Impression. Anders Ekdahl
