Repitition mixed with doeses of originality is still repition. No where has this been more true than on Disarmonia Mundi's second full length album Mindtricks. Many of the tracks will follow the same format, and even begin the same way. The guitars on the album are solid, but not groundbreaking. The drumming is very much the same. The bass...lets skip that. The vocals are split between average, and slightly above average. The clean vocals and aggressive vocals are very well done (Bjorn of Soilwork) and are interesting for the most part. The goth vocals however, are flat out annoying. I can't really say that they are high pitched, because they're not pitched at all, they're just...high? Overall DM's second album Mindtricks is worth a listen for fans of Soilwork and melodic death metal in general, but don't expect to be blown away, just mildly amused.
