EMPHASIS
”Soul Transfer”
(RedRivet Records)
Battle Helm Rating
If I am not totally mistaken this Estonian band contacted me about doing something with them. Of course I said yes. I am always open for new bands to come my way. And this turned out to be a really cool one. For lack of anything better I would like to call this progressive post metal. I don’t really know what or who to compare them to because there are bits’n’pieces from so many different styles embedded in the sound of EMPHASIS. The whole of all these parts make for some really beautiful music. In that way they kinda remind me of how Opeth have taken different influences and made it a total. This is perhaps the best release of June I have heard. A really strong album. Anders Ekdahl
