finally reach the long-distance debut on the Milan Enough to Kill, after years of playing: in fact, the band's debut MCD is dated 2000 even to understand how long the combo crowd the scene. Originally known as Legion, proponents of a melodic death metal, our guys tried to steer the shot and go to sounds, pass me the term, more pandering, or should I say more in step with the times? Yes, in fact, the ten tracks contained in "A Reason for ..." caught a bit 'here and there in the international metal scene, leaving mainly affect from typical Swedish sound (In Flames and Soilwork), the American-style metalcore (As I Lay Dying and Killswitch Engage), but also by nu metal sounds. So, nothing new under the sun you think, in fact, the disc certainly does not shine in terms of originality, however, while not great esteem for the nursing of this kind, which is nothing but a convoluted form of the Swedish melodic death metal, I must say that I was able to appreciate not just the release in question. The guitar is pretty powerful, arrembanti in their stride but at the same time very melodic and full of groove, even with some fine solo type in "Forever Lost", where he also lent his voice to the chorus of Flegias Necrodeth. Other very good songs, while not offering much new to a genre so many times that I have nothing more to say, appear to be "Dark Way" and "New Dawn", two excellent pieces that represent the perfect synthesis of what Enough to Kill is the sound: relentless rhythm (but sometimes slow in a vein similar to that of Meshuggah), very good melodies, clean and growling vocals, some sprinkling of synths to fill substantially the sound of the quintet led by Milanese GL (bass, inter alia, the already mentioned Necrodeth). In essence, although it is a derivative substantially disc, I must admit that I really liked listening to it and hear it again. They may not fall into my top ten of the year, but I believe that if our abandon a bit 'typical clichés of the genre, focusing a bit' more about the arrangements and the creation of imaginative environments darker (as in "slivers of A Wrong Age "), due to abuse of the essential synth, in the future will hear from these guys really beautiful. Do not lose sight of and follow developments closely in the! (Francesco Scarci)
