With album number three, Finnish  Dark-Alternative-Metal band Reflexion is delivering quite a smasher! Thudding tribal drums and massive, deep guitar riffs infuse the band’s dark melodic hit tunes with a refreshing kick that pleasantly distinguishes itself from the over produced kitsch that most of their fellow countrymen are sporting. This time around Reflexion are playing it rough, spiffing up even their slow songs with Sabbath-esque doom riffs and toying with complex song structures that often border on Prog Metal, but without ever losing track of the catchy, often gloomy melodies that have made their first two albums nearly impossible to resist. “Edge” is revelling in dark atmosphere and hit qualities but will probably cause some serious head banging attacks with Metal veterans as well, due to a much harder approach. Released on MachXX and available February 26, 2010.
