The rumor has it that the second album of Freakangel has arisen from hatred. Similarly as that ghastly tree, which can bee seen on the record's cover - it sets dark emotions free. In fact, the sounds of "Let It All End" are sated with the heaviness of the genre, which simply trundle through the listeners' ears.
Unavailingly will one look for the atmosphere of their debut album "The Faults Of Humanity" - this record is definitely slower, heavier and darker. It does not ooze with dance-like pieces, suitable for dancefloor, which the band got us accustomed to with their first album - the second one features more tracks marked with pain and hatred, which are to be listened to in an obscure room (in a mood that would correspond to the album's gloomy theme)
In spite of that, the Estonian group persists in their characteric style - distorted guitars and apocalyptic vocals, with a garnish of distrubing electronica.
It seems that Freakangel grew mature as a band and managed to balance their up-to-the-date achievements, still following their sound path, aiming at the perfect harmony between industrial heaviness and melodic beats.
"Let It All End" can be described as consistent stylistically, yet diversified in terms of pace and unccomon musical arrangements that efficiently prevent the feeling of monotony, while listening to these 10 tracks included on the record.
On will surely keep in memory the following tracks: "Mutual Forms of Bleeding" and "Porcelain Doll", with guest vocals of PSY'AVIAH - Emelie Nicolai. Another piece, which haunts us, as befitted a barnacle of any sort, even after the very first listening, is named "Parasite".
I have to admit that the last tracks, "We Only Lice Once", with a bit of manson-like atmosphere and a hint of decadence, is also to my liking, as well as pulsating and whetting the feeling of hopelessness "Disease".
It is by all means worth mentioning that the album appears to be plumed to extremes, the production process truly matches the Europeans standards, everything sounds perfectly clear, it can be both noticed and heard the the band saw to the highest visual and technical levels.
I recommend the record to every fan of alternative sounds, which Dmitry and his bandmates treat us to; the album might also appeal to all the ones who seek uncompromising feelings and savoring all sorts of denaturalizations, those musical included.
