For many people the end of the world is television parody and for few people is something tragic. Despite all it is the real vision of our future. Armageddon, extermination, final court… The vision of end of the world has many names. However all have lamentable results.

The album “Dusk Over The Nations” tells about the vision of fall of civilization, about the extermination of mankind, about the atrophy of human nature. The disasters nor the catastrophes are not a cause which we can not prevent… Just the opposite! The man is guilty and his desire to unlimited control of society, uncontrollable lust of power and richness as well as the many wars and the armed conflicts.

The cover-art, the message of team, the gloomy riffs as well as the progressive sound of instruments and the lyrics and even the meaning of texts – the all interweave with the vision of tragic future of the world. The disc is open by the nostalgic intro (verbal introductions in the conception of album) – The short vision of future is told by feminine voice – it perfectly composes with the climate of Italian musicians. But the calmness quickly becomes muffled by the crushing storm of aggressive gloomy sounds in which the chaotic vocals support the destruction. Unfortunately the vocals are the weakest cell in Italians' works. The brutality and the aggression boil in the album. They are filling of the whole disc and they don't let for the repose. The musicians take inspirations from such bands like CONVERGE, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and COMEBACK KID and this is perfectly perceptible on the whole of album – from overcrowded the unfathomable brutality of sets (“Disinformatjia”) until the temporary decelerations of pace (“The End That I Dream”).

The album is not the light release… This mixture of Hardcore with elements of Punk and Grindcore is outright hard to digestible. The music does not focus the melodiousness nor the nice settled compositions … Here the aggression is important as well as the tragic message with really destructive sound.

I feel lack of some arrangement of composition as well as the correct vocals which become too wearisome after longer time unfortunately. However I hope that Italians will take out the best motives from “Dusk Over The Nations” and they will favourably surprise us in the next release soon.
