Destinity - Ascension
Release Date: April 11th, 2025
Crimson Productions
Destinity is a French melodic death metal band that brings me back to my musical obsessions 20 years ago. Rooted in the "Gothenburg" sound that was in heavy rotation for me at that time, Destinity effectively capture the best aspects of that period. Top notch musicianship is sewn together confidently with impeccable songwriting abilities. Coming from a super-fan of early 2000's melodic death metal, "Ascension" will cater to anyone that swears by the glory days of Dark Tranquillity especially. The production is flawless on this album that goes along with the sound they aspire for here. All the well placed vocal lines and guitar harmonies are present alongside the catchy rhythms that are mandatory for this style. In the vein of the aforementioned Swedish greats, they make proper use of keyboards too. Used well, they provide a unifying role within the greater aspects of their sound. Impressive guitar leads are used when appropriate on "Ascension" and do not detract from the songs in any way. I find their sound to be an exhilarating experience that sounds fresh yet leaves me filled with nostalgia. The track, "Children Of The Sun" features guest vocals from Steva from Italian band Deathless Legacy as well. There are definitely no weak spots on this release. Destinity will have you immersed in their accessible yet intelligently vintage melodic death metal sound.
Destinity are from Lyon, France. For over 20 years they have refined their sound through many performances and releases. "Ascension" from what I can gather will be their 10th album. This is a new band for me and will have me exploring their previously released material. Check it out!
