His solos are also fairly above-average, taking note of his guitar solo performance in tracks such as "The Grove" and "The Prophecy". He can harmonize very well and is evident of what he does on "Labor, the Enslaver", "Shrine of Worship", and the appropriately-titled "Instrumental", where he truly shows his skills off. While his slams are great, he sometimes gets uncreative with his playing, making too many songs at the same tempo or even blending in with each other. But is his playing good? He's not a bad guitarist, I can say that much. He's the only guitarist for the band, so nearly 90% of the time guitars are dual-tracked with his rhythm and leads, and even sometimes with triple tracking, giving the vision of three guitarists at once. His double bass is crazy and his snare blasts are orgasmic.Ī lot of Bryce Yuson's guitar work follows through with chuggy rhythms and with leads taking up all the fun.
Jacob Durrett, I believe, is best noted for his skinswork in Molotov Solution, but here he's just insane. The riffs are crushing, the vocals are insane and the drumming is better than before. While Fate could easily be lain among the likes of bands such as Carnifex, Postmortem Promises, and And Hell Followed With, Shadow of the Colossus sounds more like a hybrid between Slice the Cake and The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza.
But unlike Fate, we see here a much more slammy style in this one. Shadow of the Colossus is a four-piece composing of four of the five members that made up the deathcore band Fate. Sweet Moses, what do we have here? A deathcore band? Named after one of my favorite video games ever made? Not only that, but it's really good deathcore at that.
