FOSTER (2019)

Los estadounidenses han dejado trascurrir un periodo relativamente amplio entre sus dos álbumes, sin embargo este tiempo ha sido bien empleado en engrasar su maquinaria y ofrecer un intenso nuevo trabajo de seis temas que no llega a la media hora de duración. La propuesta de Attic se muestra agresiva y violenta, atrapando al oyente en una interesante mezcla de death y black progresivo. El sonido es contundente, pero no destaca por su rapidez, los temas van medrando poco a poco, desde unos inicios más calmados, de guitarras limpias con un toque melódico para ir dar paso a una explosión de sonido que sabe adentrarse por desarrollos que sin llegar a ser complejos si se muestran variados, capaces de retorcer el tema y llevarlos a transitar por estilo como el death o el black progresivo que al mismo tiempo contiene influencias punk. La presencia del sonido del bajo ha sido fundamental para sacar adelante el sonido de "Fostet", su presencia dota de cuerpo y contundencia los temas, logrando un dialogo entre bajo y guitarra casi que perfecto, en una línea que mezcla contundencia y melodía a partes iguales. Las voces mantienen un termino medio, son capaces de ofrecer cierta brutalidad death pero también se involucran en ofrecer un tono más rasgado y rabioso que las sitúa entre el black y el punk. El apartado de la batería no duda en mantenerse firme en cuanto a contundencia pero el ritmo más lento de la misma dota de un cierto groove a este álbum. Un álbum que acaba por resultar intenso, incluso emotivo, valiéndose para ello de estructuras que van desde unas partes más lentas y cercanas en contraposición a otras más directas y agresivas que siempre esconcen alguna sorpresa en forma de giro inesperado. (7,7).

1. Of Endless Sage and Sky 05:25

 the World has been left to pools of fire and death

nothing survived

a lifeless ball of misery

where no life exists at all

nothing's left to destroy the planet

the Wyrm has come

of endless sage and sky

there has to be silence

there will be

silence

long deserted peace for mother earth

until the decision is made

to let life live again

for the years to come there will be nothing left of man

no beast left to destroy the planet

so she can recover

to a world of forests and oceans

a world full of wildlife and beauty

a world of endless sage and sky

a world before the Wyrm

2. Summer 05:40

  as the temperature rises the grass begins to die

deprived of hydration the fields become

a dried up wasteland

the rivers begin to run dry as the lands catch fire

and the air is filled with smoke

it only adds to the rising heat

and everything is set a blaze

so is the brutality of Summer

you gasp for air

but all you take in is smoke

no clean air

all the trees are burned

there's no home left for the wildlife

this is their doom

Summer knows no mercy

3. The Washing 04:49

  we are all blind to the truth

they control society through the youth

they poison our brains through the schools

converting us into nothing but mindless fools

they trick us into changing what it is we want in life

making us believe in false realities

as Generations come and Generations go

we will be converted into mindless slaves

left behind to do

their bidding

succumb to the washing

we are all slaves

left to serve

succumb now

succumb to the washing

we are all slaves

left behind

to do their bidding

4. The Flood 03:48

   from the shadow it lurks never to be seen

it is what gives men fear of the darkness

once the sun sets

it becomes feeding Time

what the beast is will forever be unclear

for if you ever lay eyes on the beast

you are dead

its motivations are undetermined

all that is known is

that it thirsts for blood

whatever your darkest fear is

is what it will portray itself as

to make you die

your worst imagined death

maybe it's the devil

or the edge of all Time

but we will never know

because if you are within its sights

you are its next victim

it hunts in silence

and leaves no trace

it is immortal

and will forever be unknown

it is the silent killer

until the end of Time

5. The Wyrm 05:02

  for all the damage humans have done to mother earth

she will strike back with all of her wrath

she will have her revenge

the time for extinction is nye

no mercy will be shown on judgement day

the oceans will flood

the cities and the surface cracks open

as the volcanos rise

to cover the earth in liquid fire

leaving it a lifeless ball of lava

like it was in the beginning

where no life existed at all

you have proved that you all are not worthy

of what has been gifted to you

you will pay for all the sins you have committed against earth

when she takes her revenge

and wipes your meaningless existence away

like you all deserve

for what you all have done

you should have worshiped her like a Queen

for she is what you refer to as a God

6. Particle 02:53

after many centuries of lifelessness Mother earth has finally had her peace she grows lonely and feels there is a purpose she must serve a fresh start is at hand her decision has been made life will start again the wildlife will roam evolution will set as we witness the rebirth of man will they respect who created them or try to kill her again they must earn their right to live by respecting Mother earth this is the Rebirth Rebirth
