It´s always nice to hear from old acquaintances, like Italian/German Graveworm, especially when their 8th studio release Fragments Of Death turns out to be a real ear candy. The band behind founding members Stefan Fiori - vocals und Sabine Mair - keyboard still sticks to their trademark style - tough riffs and brutal beats meet hauntingly beautiful melody a la Gothic Metal. Here, they tend much more obviously than before to atmospheric-epic Black Metal (e.g. The World Will Die In Flames), and there are some Pagan influences to be heard, too. Front maniac Stefan´s evil growls still kick ass, and there´s also a female clean voice on Anxiety - a great song, by the way - but I could not find out who is delivering those distinctive dark-rough vocals. The only track sticking out negatively is See No Future - a bit too simple in terms of chorus, and then you hear it way too often...

Anyway, if you like a nice mix of hardness and melody somewhere between Soilwork and Amorphis, you can grab this one here. Yet I´m not sure if Graveworm will stick out enough of their colleague´s releases in the same genre...
