I
think this is a dream of every band, to release only one demo
and then to have a deal in their hands. After their demo release,
Centurions Ghost make a deal with I Hate Records
and here we have their debut album with the title "A
sign of things to come" and a great artwork. The
best so far that i has seen from this label. Musically the
band has a lot of influences but mainly they are in the doom
and heavy metal side. For sure they aren't the typical doom
metal band, we can say that they have made a very clever combination
and with influences from Celtic Frost, Candlemass
and Cathedral we have the stuff in this album.
Also Centurions Ghost had made some very interesting
compositions with interesting ideas and i wish that this album
will had more tracks and not only six. Anyway you can hear
these six tracks again and again until you will completely
understand the full vision from them. Don't forget that they
have shared the stage with bands like: Turisas,
Thee Plague of Gentlemen, Vader
and Alabama Thunderpussy. The production isn't
satisfactory but it is a good one and you can hear all the
instruments.
