Hungarian sextet METEORA showers us with their first outing since …Of Shades And Colours (2022), two new guitarists in the fold, and the first part of an EP trilogy in hand. The title track begins a bit robotic for my taste, but soon a chugging riff greets us, and we’re off. Keyboard trills flourish, a bit of AFTER FOREVER in the dichotomy of vocal styles. ‘Rebirth’ seems purposeful, intentional, and carries us further along the rollercoaster of emotions evoked by symphonic metal played passionately. Done right. My only complaint lies in this mix seeming distant and cold, not enveloping as I know this band can be. ‘Ghosts’, however, corrects this, laying the band bare, and drawing us In This Silence.
