DEADLOCK - Neues Album The Arsonist im Juli 2013

""The Arsonist" is once more a testament to DEADLOCKs grasp of pure heaviness and catchy melodies. The band's "The Final Storm" says that "A new aeon rises. We are here to stay. May my voice be the storm... we are the storm". After listening to the new album, one can wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

After a line-up change, a new chapter opens in the book of DEADLOCK. A chapter that couldn't be more electrifying and thrilling. Every part, every vocal line and each and every played note had to live up to the expectations of all band members. The result -- "The Arsonist" - is a testament to this work ethic. Be it the driving opener "The Great Pretender", the brutal Death Metal song "Darkness Divine", or the ballad "Hurt" that puts the angelic voice of Sabine Scherer in the spotlight. The mix of Melodic Death Metal and elements from the world of Pop has reached a new level of maturity and depth of details on "The Arsonist". The band did not shy away from orchestral sounds, choir elements or synth fragments. Despite the new influences, the band built a musical bridge to its previous releases."
