Rare are the ultra technical albums able to be something else than a simple display of a very high-level of musicianship and a ton of complex riffs thrown one after the other. Rare are also the debut releases able to already show a real personality and a great sense of song-writing. Years Of Tyrants’ “Leading the Blind” avoids the first and has the second: a very technical, at times ultra brutal, kind of Deathcore that has a soul, that’s able to carry emotions, be them violence, frustration or, much more rare in this style, melancholy and sadness.

Produced at the Iguana studios (Necrophagist, Maladie…) back in 2010 by the band’s first line-up featuring past and present Rise Of The Northstar and Resistance members, “Leading the Blind” stayed unreleased until Kaotoxin records heard about it and picked up the band. This debut is a true masterpiece of upper class technical Deathcore with a soul, the missing link between Beneath The Massacre and Necrophagist.
