Almost three years, many live appearances both as a headliner and in the supporting program by, among others Knorkator, a few appetizers, including the orchestral Live in the Studio disc gregarious, have been since the last long player Collapse past. It was an eventful time, also and especially for The deer effect. Therefore should Type but it will be just as much a certificate of maturity as its predecessor was.
Musically, not much has changed for the Hanoverians in recent years. Once again you fluctuate literally every second between atmospheric art rock and hard-to-digest speed metalcore. They have already proven several times that the three can also create atmosphere. Like in the opener Nowthat you HERE can hear.
While they have addressed crises and social imponderables in the past, they now have their finger on the pulse of the times. type, This is what an uninvited guest is called. And one of the kind whose appearance was planned and whose appearance can no longer be ignored.
These include, among other things, social hardship and psychological problems The deer effect have mentioned again and again on past albums, and also on this album in songs like Border be touched upon, which you HERE can hear.
Tried-and-tested things repackaged in a more refined form
The listener gets the full broadside of songs like 2054 or the title track Type. The second song Otus is one of those mini epics that I like escapist already liked it very much. Compared to Collapse i like it Type a bit better. The band continues to mature, which is clearly good for them. Even on past albums you didn’t drive at full throttle all the time. On Type The power trio combines almost withdrawn passages even more cleverly with incredibly fast bass lines and a rhythm that makes you dizzy.
The German-language texts do not fall behind compared to before, they even gain in drama and topicality. This is a look into the past and the future at the same time. Type In terms of quality, it effortlessly fits into the series of previous albums, also or precisely because there is no concrete concept being pursued here. This symbolizes the chaos and imponderables all too well. Fans are unlikely to be disappointed.
Conclusion
The new work by The deer effect is by no means an uninvited guest. In fact, it’s good that the band is with us Type tried and tested terrain, gaining maturity and offering the fan a very good slice with refined ingredients. 8,5 / 10
