Adept - The Rose Will Decay

Review by Adam Walker

Adept's latest album, The Rose Will Decay, is a stunning showcase of their musical prowess. The Swedish metalcore band has crafted a collection of songs that are both emotionally charged and technically impressive. The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone with its heavy riffs and soaring vocals. From there, the band takes the listener on a journey through a range of styles, from the thrashing energy of "The Choirs of Absolution" to the more melodic, introspective "Black Veins." One of the standout tracks is "The Sickness," which features guest vocals from In Flames' Anders Fridén and showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend different genres. Throughout the album, Adept's musicianship is on full display, with intricate guitar work, thundering drums, and powerful vocals that are sure to leave a lasting impression. The Rose Will Decay is an impressive album that showcases Adept's growth as a band and their dedication to pushing the boundaries of metalcore.
