The seven track EP goes by too fast. All of the
tracks fit with one another and give the listener an enjoyable half hour
of foot tapping drums, powerhouse vocals, and guitar riffs. "Image" and
"Equivalence" are my favorite tracks on the whole EP with vocalist
Pedro Vitorino consistently screaming the lyrics to the best of his
ability. He continues to control his range through the release but
showcases his raspy growls the most on these two standout tracks. The
addition of choir like symphonic voices are reminiscent of bands such as
Within Temptation and Leaves Eyes but Remaining Chaos knows how to keep
it heavy with a hint of a breakdown in "Equivalence."
The EP closes out with an orchestra only version of
"Requiem" that summarizes the band's influences in the previous six
tracks. Perhaps in the future, Remaining Chaos can include orchestra
versions of other tracks. It's quite nice to listen to before bed.
Remaining
Chaos has a straightforward message with "A New Silence." They
introduce themselves to the world as a hard hitting metal band who know
when to be game changers. They are definitely not silent and I'm looking
forward to their future in the music scene.
