Destiny's End--Breathe Deep the Dark

Destiny's End--Breathe Deep the Dark (1998/Metal Blade) Rating--7.7

Vocalist James Rivera, formerly of Helstar, leads this speed/thrash unit. Also joining up are a couple of former members of New Eden.
There are higher end power vocals, fast and intricate paces, and some tasty non-stop fret action. Reminds at times of classic Sanctuary, a little Nevermore, and Tim Owens' Winters Bane material.
The gallop of "The Fortress Unvanquishable" sets up a rapid pace chorus, and "Unsolved World" is fueled by a nice drive. Sharp riffage dots "The Obscure," and the title track fluctuates between speedy segments and heavy slow-downs.
A band with great live energy; they should continue to gel as a unit in the future.
TRACK LIST: Rebirth/Breath Deep the Dark/To Be Immortal/Idle City/The Fortress Unvanquishable/Sinister Deity/Unsolved World/Under Destruction's Thumb/Clutching at Straws/Where Do We Go?/The Obscure
