Reviews Customer Reviews for Ice Upon The Night      Blizzard-Like      Rating:      Immortal Souls first got my attention with the track "Snow Soul" on a shared disc with relative has-beens Mordecai. Luckily, Immortal Souls have stayed the course and come out with some nasty, blasting and intense melodic death metal. "Ice Upon The Night" continues in their well-established style of rapid tempo, intense guitars and wildly monstrous grind vocals. The musicianship is excellent as all members play well together on this CD. The recording is well mastered, showing none of the unrefined quality of Immortal Souls' demo tracks. This is a very polished product, and one that any fan would be happy with. The vocals on this CD are snarling, nasty, aggressive and sound like he has swallowed a gallon of pure ethanol and set it alight. Raging and merciless, the vocals maintain a relatively high tone, almost thrash-like, but with the intensity and energy of the best in death. There are some clean vocals on the CD and these are very well executed, blending well with the grind on two of the tracks. The winter themes are still there, along with the hard, in-your-face stance the band takes with regard to their beliefs. However, the imagery is both artistic and accessible. I think the band has achieved a good balance, without allowing the art of it to cloud the message. All in all, "Ice Upon The Night" is an excellent offering from Immortal Souls, and they still rank as one of my favourite bands of all time.     Customer Reviews for Ice Upon The Night Cd      Good Album!!      Rating:      Although, it can be argued that Immortal Souls, draws a heavy influence from Children of Bodom, and Dark Tranquility, they have been able to incorporate the elements of these bands and deliver a sound of their own. While not as complex in terms of songwiting as the aforementioned bands, the music is straightforward and in your face, with more than decent guitar solos and riffs. This band stands on their own feet. Definitively recommended.
