REVIEW – With ‘Andromeda,’ MARCH OF SCYLLA crafts a sonic descent into darkness, blending progressive metal, crushing intensity, and immersive storytelling. This release is a relentless, atmospheric journey that showcases the band’s ability to balance technical precision with raw emotional weight.
“Ulysses’ Lies” wastes no time pulling you into chaos, its ferocious riffs and guttural aggression hitting like a tidal wave. “Death Experience” is a brooding and suffocating masterpiece, submerging the listener in melancholy and despair. “The Royal Way” unfolds like a slow descent into madness, its haunting melodies building toward an overwhelming climax.
“To Cassiopeia” serves as a brief but powerful interlude, an eerie moment of cosmic reflection before the next storm. Then comes “Dark Matter,” a track that crushes with sheer intensity, sending shockwaves through the very fabric of reality. “Storm Dancer” paints a celestial battlefield, a perfect balance of atmospheric grandeur and metal brutality.
“BlaAst” delivers earth-shaking rhythms, piercing vocals, and searing guitar work, making it one of the album’s standout moments. “Achilles’ Choice” erupts like an infernal ritual, unleashing pure metallic fury, while “Myrrha” explores shadowy emotions with a hypnotic, melancholic undercurrent. Closing the album, “Cosmogony” is a final plunge into the abyss, a grand, cinematic conclusion that leaves the listener staring into the void.
With ‘Andromeda,’ MARCH OF SCYLLA delivers a dark, immersive, and relentlessly heavy experience. This is an album that doesn’t just demand to be heard—it demands to be felt.
