DEFECTO – Nemesis

Nemesis is the second studio release from Denmark’s Progressive Metal/Power Metal band Defecto. Continuing with the original line up intact, featuring vocalist/lead guitarist Niclas Sonne, Frederick Moller on guitar, Thomas Bartholin on bass, and Lars Jensen on drums, Defecto builds upon the groundwork laid on last year’s debut Excluded. Nemesis takes on a darker tone overall, the lyrics centering around the theme of enemies.

The songs are well written, and expertly executed, with Sonne not only handling guitar and vocal duties, but producing and engineering as well. Nemesis kicks off with a haunting instrumental piece, “The Final Night Of Silence”, and launches from there right into very heavy territory with the title track, “Nemesis”.

Sonne utilizes vocal techniques from soaring harmonies to guttural growls as the centerpiece of every song, and it works over Defecto’s Progressive, Melodic music. Capped with shredding lead guitars and tastefully utilized keys, every song covers the sonic spectrum, whether in the heaviest tunes like “Endlessly Falling” and “Before The Veil”, or the almost 80s influenced “Ablaze”.

Defecto have definitely put forth an impressive sophomore effort in Nemesis. Fans of Melodic Power Metal, Progressive Metal, and those impressed with Defecto’s debut will definitely enjoy Nemesis.
