Necro Algorithm – Eternal Echoes Review

Before we get to the article, we are pleased to present additional reviews of Melkor. Following our initial set of six reviews, we have returned with another six. We already commenced with the first five reviews titled The Rise Of Ophiuchus – As Galaxies Merge, Vehemence Abyss, Eerie Resonance, Mala Mors, and Neural Plague. Now get ready to “delve into a profound inner journey, navigating the silent depths of emptiness and shadow…” This is Eternal Echoes, from Melkor’s other project, Necro Algorithm. It is important to note that Melkor has introduced something (again) distinctly unique, darker and brutal, stands apart from his previous endeavours.

The moment the listener hits the play button, they are welcomed by the opening track, Fragments of Existence. A rich tapestry of atmospheric synths envelops them, creating a sonic landscape that hints at the journey ahead.

As the listener continues, they embark on their journey with the second piece, Beyond the Void, and the remaining six tracks. Eternal Echoes takes the audience on a lyrical journey that explores a profound inner journey, navigating the silent depths of emptiness and shadow. It speaks of a soul adrift, searching for purpose, grappling with questions that remain elusive. As the protagonist wanders through a desolate landscape of uncertainty and doubt, they are irresistibly drawn to the enigmatic allure of the void — a mysterious force that calls out, yet offers no clear answers, no guiding light…

Necro Algorithm‘s Eternal Echoes is an eight-track fruit of art product of death metal artistry, embodying the essence of existential conflict. The sound is a ceaseless sonic barrage that never relents. It offers listeners a raw and savage musical experience, reminiscent of the previous project, “Melkor.” This creation is executed with a fierce, unyielding devilmanship, operating with the precision of a well-oiled machine. Simultaneously, Melkor and his collaborative associates have unveiled yet another fruit of art product of artistic endeavour that exudes careful devilmanship and thoughtful composition. This latest release feels anything but hurried; it is meticulously crafted, diverse in its range, and flawlessly arranged.

Each endeavour from this “fruit of art collaboration” is nothing short of stunning, showcasing a unique blend of instrumentation and lyrical themes that traverse nearly every musical genre imaginable—be it death, doom, black, or symphonic. No matter the style, this collaboration consistently delivers exceptional results.

Necro Algorithm envelops listeners in a shroud of darkness, characterized by its haunting atmospheres and sorrowful melodies. Each composition invites a deep sense of introspection, crafting an immersive experience that resonates with the soul. The band delves into themes of shadow, mysticism, and the natural world, all of which contribute to the overarching mood that permeates their sound. At the helm of this sonic journey is the enigmatic figure known as Melkor, whose brutal bone-shaking riffs unleash a torrent of primal energy, while his bass lines breathe life into the music. His vocals are meticulously sculpted to mirror the intricate intensity of the instrumentation, ensuring that every note and phrase is infused with the raw emotion that lies at the heart of the project.

Adding to this powerful soundscape is guest drummer Jeroen, whose thunderous rhythms evoke the fury of a storm, infusing the music with life. The collaboration with lyricist Catherine Theodore introduces a profound conceptual layer, as they weave together existential themes that explore the human condition, the void, and the quest for meaning. D-Void enriches the music with layers of depth and complexity, infusing the mix with guitar solos that pierce through the composition with precision. This artistic partnership results in a body of work that is not only sonically punishing but also rich in philosophical depth, offering a brutal yet reflective examination of existence itself. The interplay of music and lyrics creates a tapestry that challenges listeners to confront their ‘own’ realities, making the experience both haunting and thought-provoking.

You have now encountered Necro Algorithm, which has evolved into something even more intense and ferocious. The formidable Melkor has teamed up with the Portuguese extreme metal band Cult Of Alcaeus to deliver an explosive split release titled Doomed Algorithms, released through Nova Era Records. This collaboration unleashes a tempest of death metal and thrash metal, where the harrowing themes of Apocalypse, Social Collapse, Existential Anguish, and the Downfall of Humanity converge in a cataclysmic symphony of chaos. Brace yourself for an unyielding sonic odyssey that promises to turn the world upside down, leaving no stone unturned and no soul unscathed. The sheer power and brutality of this musical onslaught will engulf you, as the artists weave a tapestry of sound that reflects the darkest corners of existence. Prepare to be swept away by the relentless energy and profound themes that Doomed Algorithms has to offer.

If you, as a reader and listener, have been accompanying me on this musical adventure, then you’re in for a treat! If you’ve appreciated the creations of Melkor, this new project is one you definitely won’t want to overlook; it’s absolutely worth exploring.

The album Eternal Echoes culminates with its final track, Infinite Collapse, which envelops the listener in a slightly aggressive yet atmospheric symphonic soundscape. This piece resonates with a sense of futurism, drawing the audience into a world where echoes of the past intertwine with the possibilities of what lies ahead. We want to give a shoutout to Melkor for letting us review his album, Eternal Echoes, from his newest project, Necro Algorithm. Now, we are going to conclude the review by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
