Four years after „This Harmonic Consonance“ the unique LANFEAR come up with their new album „The Code Inherited“. Once again they mix their Metal with lots of power and melody. A monolithic album with an exceptional singer (Nuno Miguel de Barros Fernandes) and sublime songwriting, led by mastermind/guitarist Markus „Ulle“ Ullrich. Outstanding tracks as „Converging Saints“ and „Evidence Based Ignorance“ are in the classical LANFEAR style while the band undoubtedly is also influenced by proggresive and sophisticated genres. Powerful songs as „The Delusionist“ are on an international level and NEVERMORE or COMMUNIC would have loved to present material like that in their harmonic days.
One of the most melodic tracks on the album is „The Opaque Hourglass“. With the piano driven chorus this will surely be a fave amongst the fans. The terrific „Self-Assembled“ starts almost gently until fat guitar riffs blend in and the whole song explodes and becomes very heavy.
As a bonus and just for the fun of it LANFEAR present their very own Bryan Adams song with „Summer of 89“. Sounds like ECLIPSE would play it and the lyrics deal with the times you never experienced, the days before your birth and long before your first f###. Incredible!
