I regret this, I really do. What you can hear on this disc is the solo work of Jefray, guitarist of Kekal. His work for Excision is an amalgam of several styles and influences. The first song has an atmospheric feel with clear singing and it builds up quite nicely. In fact, I love this song. The second song starts with that atmospheric feel too. Jeff isn't the world's best singer but he has a distinctive voice that fits the music well. It almost has a poppy sound. What do I regret about this disc then? The lack of a fat sound. I miss the sonic quality to enjoy the tracks fully. It's regrettable as some of these songs are so beautiful. Not that it is really bad though but not enough to satisfy me fully. Jeff combines influences from eighties metal, gothic, industrial and even some black metal, ambient and other styles. Sometimes the mix of styles works excellent, sometimes there are flaws. But overall it's a worthy experiment. Regardless of the shortcomings in sonic quality I will enjoy this disc.
