Seraphim - (2006) Seraphim [Promo Track]


The band first came into being in 2003 after Jai decided to quit himself from Ouija. Their initial inception consisted of Didie on bass, Amir (formerly of Senjakala) on drums, Die as vocalist with Sofian and Jai on guitars respectively. In 2005, Sofian left the band and he was replaced by Han who subsequently became Seraphim second vocalist. The reason being Han was able to do shrieking vocal while Die was exclusively a growler for the band. Hailing from Brunei Darussalam, at least two songs were successfully recorded by the band. They had also toured Singapore, playing their first ever live show away from home alongside much anticipated appearance of fellow war brothers Draconaeon. In 2008, Seraphim were the first band to be interviewed by two members of now defunct Dark Verministry. The band opposed commercialism and they were known to have vehement adherence to anonymity endemic to underground milieu. Playing melodic death metal with a touch reminiscent of mid - era Cradle of Filth and Swedish death metal sound, particularly that of Gothenburg bands, Seraphim were among few bands that could outdo most 'core' craps in their area.

The song being featured here is perhaps one of two known songs they have recorded back in 2006 although the studio works may have started way earlier than that. Nevertheless, it depicts Seraphim ability to conjure even remotely plausible niche of art within death metal chamber. Song structures are fairly standard yet unpredictable to some degrees. The latter is largely attributed to its capability to entice listeners, both seasoned and amateur in a very intricate way. It also indicates a certain level of sophistication concerning Seraphim song writing skills in which they opted to eschew most banal elements from getting too stagnant, repetitive and one - dimensional. Their effort shines the most and what they do seems to have the potential of becoming something more.

Seraphim are currently in the process of recording another handful of tracks at Victorious Rock Production studio. Details as of yet remained unknown.

Tracklist:

1. Enchantment, the Black Rose of Anarchy & Destruction 6:27

Total time: 06:27
