Allt - From The New World

Allt is a progressive metalcore band from Sweden, who formed in 2020. “From The New World,” is their debut full-length album; they have also released an EP.

I don't know what it is about prog metalcore but it's always good. “From The New World” is another fine addition to the genres halls.

The production is MASSIVE. It's loud, clear and razor sharp all wrapped up in a big modern production. Normally, I would argue most bands don't need such a slick production job. But this album definitely requires but not only that----it thrives in it. 

The bass and guitar tones are deep and seemingly endless. The atmospheric textures generated through the keys/electronics stand out against the heavier elements but don't over take them.  

The riffs are modern as well but mix it up enough to keep engagement high. The drumming and vocals are both powerhouses, adding so intense a sound that each song feels like the explsoive ending of another and birth of the next one.

The album begins with the short instrumental intro “A Flash of Light.” It's not bad for what it is but the real magic begins with the first full song.

"Remnant” is monstrous because within seconds each element of the band is presented with the aggression factor dialed up to 20. 

Surprisingly gentle cleans are peppered throughout, weaved into the riffs and extreme vocals as they all head for a catchy chorus.

“Memory of Light,” somehow finds a way to up the intensity factors but it's the riffs that truly impress; they are a constant source of change, twisting, breaking and reforming into new little worlds.

That's really the key to the albums greatness. This is, of course, a cohesive album but each song is still distinct from each other.

The drum loops on “The Orphan Breed” mix with electronic noise for a different approach to their style. It works very well as the song always continues to flow properly. After the halfway mark, the density of the riffs are World breaking!

Even with their prog approach, they still bring the pain with plenty of gain. Thr groove of “Emanate” is brutal and infectious. It's just one part of the song though—the ending is melodic and sweeping.

The final song, “Cycles” has an unique feel to it….a dark modern Gothic tone but with deep grooves and the never ending heavines the band provides with apparent ease.

Allt's “From The New World” is an album with a firm grip on its identity and the sound it wants to achieve. Fans of core will eat this up but progressive fans will find much to love as well.
