Formed back in 2005 appears this polis h band called Empatic whose main debut comes in the form of a full length album called “Goods of Thousand Souls” issued last year under the label Psycho Records.

This band differs from most of  their home mates because in this case we find pretty strong thrash influences in their material, not so in their sound which is very much into death metal.

The album has a really killer sound, very well mixed and mastered, the end result reminds me in certain passages the “Formation of Damnation” of Testament, however the voice in case of Empatic is several tones lower and much more into death metal, which helps  strength the overall sound adding some old school feeling.

The drumming architecture is simply exquisite…high point in this album for sure, not only for the sound that is a well balanced mix between natural/triggered drums…but also for the intelligent work performed composed of intelligent bridges, killer slow tempos build up with double blasts amazing…definitely…killer!!!

As you can read, there are 11 songs, 1 of them is a cover from OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) which personally I would have excluded because has nothing to do with the overall band proposal and in certain sense is like fooling the band…like making joke of it…don’t know but someone took a very bad decision here…

Despite the cheesy cover, the whole album is great and I can do nothing more than recommend it due to its high quality in all departments, performance, sound & composition, 4 pages full colour cover artwork….get in touch with the band or the label to get your dirty hands over this one…won’t regret!!!
