chILL – In Your Spine

Releasedate: 01-02-2010; Label: Twisted Entertainment
By: Sabine van Gameren

chILL is a metal band from Finland. Their very first formation was in 1995, but not until 2006 there was a steady line up. In 2008 the band released their debut album “Controlled Chaos” and anno 2010 the promo “In Your Spine” sees light.

In my review of their album “Controlled Chaos” (link) I commented this band on the fact that they were quite experimenting and not finding that surprise element in their music yet. This promo contains two songs so it is hard to judge how much this has changed, but there is to say that the band set a different product with it. The music contains that raw vocals and a clearly visible guitar sound in their music. Catchy vocal lines where a cleaner side does good to the band’s own face. In these two songs the band suddenly knows how to make people wondering about them. Luckily for these people the band announced that this release is “promoting chILL’s forthcoming album and giving everyone a little heads up of what’s to come”.
The band clearly made a step forward and with a good production as this they can brightly look forward to the release of their new album.
