about

75% serious and 25% comedy, Gate Guardian is the first musical outing from NC progressive death metal group Optical Delusion. Featuring technical yet catchy riffs, colorful chord usage, and diverse yet cohesive songs, Gate Guardian offers the listener a sonic feast. There are several twists and turns along the way, including a brief cover/tribute of ACDC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" found on the track "Gate Guardian Part II: Dox."

Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10 liltito
