Islay - Angels' Share

Islay is a five piece band consisting of, Tommy - Guitars, Synth, Lemmi - Drums, Chicken - Vocals, Baal - Guitars, Picco - Bass. Genre described as Death Metal. Band origin Emsland.

 Angels' Share album released on Final Gate Records September 15 2015. The band name did not immediately strike me as something heavy, I was completely wrong. The music is brutal and melodic. You hear a wide range of vocalization from low guttural to pig squeels along with a few goregrind style of grunts and screams like in the song "Instinct". Take tracks like Self Adulation, just crushing right from the start. Relentless battery and killer low/high vocalization that leads into some memorable melodies, very well executed. But my favorite song from this entire album would have to be,"Havok and Decay", I ended up jammin this song several times on my way to and from work. Very catchy rhythms and verses. Some of the parts featuring guitars harmonies are well constructed and stay in my head even after the song is over. 

 In conclusion, there is something to enjoy in every song. Catchy arrangements and memorable melodies will keep you coming back for more. ~Artemortifica

Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made
