Deadlock: Manifesto

   DEADLOCK’s “Manifesto” brilliantly builds upon their signature paths of
guitar mastery and beautifully sung passages of bliss intertwined with
agonizing growls of defeat to expand on the band’s highly diverse
metallic palette by adding more expansive elements to their extreme yet
progressive-metal sound. On one hand, it is traditional and technically
experienced, just like their label-debut “Earth.Revolt” and on the
other hand it is as catchy and listenable as their second full length
“Wolves.” Within its melancholy and dark undertones of picking out
mankind’s gorging and exploitation of animals as a conceptual
storyline, there is still a positive outlook to the world that was not
been present in past recordings. Being their third full length album
for LIFEFORCE RECORDS, DEADLOCK’s intensive and emotional “Manifesto”
is technically challenging and just as excellent if not more so than
their previous efforts. While offering innovative orchestral
arrangements as well as melodic and technical lead guitar-assaults, the
German metallers find virtuous keyboards/electronics and Sabine
Weniger’s beautiful vocals as essential contributions to their specific
sound. “Manifesto” convinces with flawless playing and a stellar
production done by guitar player Sebastian Reichl, while Jacob Hansen
(MERCENARY, VOLBEAT, HEAVEN SHALL BURN) took care of mixing/mastering.
With “Manifesto”, DEADLOCK is out to make a DIFFERENCE!
