Eleine – ‘All Shall Burn’ (Black Lodge)

Posted by | Nov 22, 2019 | ,

With some albums, it sounds like a lot of work goes into them. Motivation, blood, sweat, and tears. Sometimes that creates a very good album and sometimes people are overworked and burn out negatively affecting the product. However, the old saying of “do something you love and you will never work a day in your life” comes to mind. This whole album does not sound like anyone was having to force themselves to do anything.

This is a work of love and it really stands out.

You either like them or you don’t, and if the latter is the case you are quite vociferous in your reasons for doing so (or not, as the case may be). Many dismiss them as not being a “metal” band. Others as cartoon characters pretending to play metal. Others as a vanity project. But, one thing is undeniable: whatever your thoughts, they put on a fucking great live show, one which finally has elevated them to the status of arena headliners, as tonight’s show very clearly, and emphatically demonstrated…

For those who don’t know who Jakub Zyteki is, he’s formerly the guitarist of Polish progressive/jazz metal outfit, Disperse. Jakub is an outrageously skilled guitarist and musician who’s hallmarks of his playing are often bursts of notes in quick succession in a fusion of jazz and funk style playing. In the wake of Disperse going on indefinite hiatus, he’s pushed forward with his own solo work which is markedly very different on the whole from his previous work.
