Darkness - Spastica

Review by Daniel Martín Álvarez

Spastica, the latest album by Darkness, has been receiving mixed reviews from the critics. The album features ten tracks that showcase the band's signature sound, a mix of heavy metal and rock. While some reviewers have praised the band's energy and rawness, others have criticized the lack of originality and depth in the songs.

The opening track, "Blackout," sets the tone for the album with its fast-paced guitar riffs and pounding drums. "Scream" and "Rage" follow, both featuring catchy choruses and headbanging rhythms. "Insanity" slows things down a bit, with a more melodic approach, but still maintains the album's overall intensity.

The middle of the album features some standout tracks, such as "Chaos" and "Pain," which showcase the band's ability to write memorable hooks and showcase their technical skills. However, the album starts to lose steam towards the end, with tracks like "Madness" and "Despair" feeling repetitive and uninspired.

Summary by Daniel Martín Álvarez

Spastica is a solid effort from Darkness, but it falls short of being a truly memorable album. The band's energy and passion are evident throughout, but the lack of originality and depth in the songwriting prevents the album from standing out in a crowded genre. Fans of heavy metal and rock will find plenty to enjoy here, but those looking for something truly groundbreaking may be left wanting more.
