The Gauntlet – May 20, 2008
Combining Death Metal with elements of Technical and Progressive Metal then adding in a bit of melody to boot Alethian have constructed a record that was well worth the wait. Contrasting a brutal musical assault with a message of hope Alethian are taking their brand of Death Metal to the masses this summer playing the Cornerstone Music Festival as well as many other shows. Vocalist Joel Thorpe took a moment to answer some questions about the band their message and their sound. Many of your songs are so hard and intense that I am sure they translate well into a live setting taking on a whole new life in front of a live audience… Combining Death Metal with elements of Technical and Progressive Metal then adding in a bit of melody to boot Alethian have constructed a record that was well worth the wait.

Many of your songs are so hard and intense that I am sure they translate well into a live setting taking on a whole new life in front of a live audience. How does it make you feel when the emotion and power that you envisioned in the recording studio comes to life while playing in front of a crowd?Well for the most part we have always written the songs to be great live and then we’ve played them live many times before we actually recorded them. This way we can work out the kinks and really get familiar with the material.

The Gauntlet: Death Angel Metal News
The Gauntlet – May 20, 2008
The following is an excerpt from an interview conducted with the renowned comic and toy oriented magazine WIZARD:”WIZARD: So how much can you tell me about the DEATH ANGEL project?EMERICK: The DEATH ANGEL project started from when I did the CKY comic book. And what happened was that Darren Miller who was the lead singer for CKY also had a death metal band and the record label he’s working through let me know that DEATH ANGEL was doing a comic book. And I was like ‘Yeah! I’ll do it!’ cause a lot of my work to date has been a lot of rock pieces. I’ve done a lot of artwork for the BEATLES’ magazines for SONIC YOUTH SOCIAL DISTORTION I did CKY’s tour shirts and their comic books. WIZARD: In the Death Angel comic how collaborative was it? How many writers did you have working with you?EMERICK: I brought in the writer that I grew up with. We used to make comics when we were kids and we stayed close friends and he did the CKY book for me… WIZARD: You mentioned bringing in a comedian. Is the comic going to be like a “Metalocalypse” thing where you’re making fun of metal while also celebrating it?EMERICK: Pretty much yeah. The first series has a lot to do with how music is being taken over by corporate music offices and everything. But when it comes to the one-liners and punch lines that’s where the comedian comes in and adds his flavor to it. WIZARD: So it’s a struggle with the corporatization of rock and roll?EMERICK: Yeah what happens is since they’re called DEATH ANGEL we have the Angel of Deaththe Grim Reapercome in and he knocks them all off. And somehow they go to an alternate universe. It’s kind of like “Akira” based in the future where everything’s a mess: a post-apocalyptic setting.

Aversion – May 21, 2008
Adopting a particularly fey twist on metal HIM trots out muscular riffs only to emasculate them with lyrics that?d make a Dashboard Confessional fan blush. The album opens with promising riffs though ?Buried Alive By Love? quickly deteriorates into clichéd high-school poetry in which love and morbid imagery clumsily exchange bodily fluids. ?The Sacrament? gives glam-saturated hair-metal a few coats of black paint. Think Poison trading its Aqua-net and pink eyeliner for pitch-black Manic Panic and gobs of ebony mascara and you?re in the same ballpark. ?Sweet Pandemonium? the band?s shot at a mid-paced rocker is more glam-pop-metal melodies and slick production than Goth?s choking atmosphere. Occasionally HIM hints that it?s more than glam-metal wrapped in a black wardrobe… ?Endless Dark? successfully explores spacious arrangements as the band settles into an autumn ? if not quite winter ? chill. ?The Funeral of Hearts? if you can look past the nauseous subject matter and its chorus? proclivity toward AFI-esque dark anthems offers a middling take on Goth-inspired metal. In the end however HIM caters to keeping up with outlet-store Goth fashion more than it does in exploring the darker depths of its music. An awkwardly comfortable Goth album HIM?s obsessions with pop accessibility make for a rather lukewarm record. – Matt Schild Add article to:.
