But \u201cSuite 226\u201c can easily compete: Extremely melodic and atmospheric at the same time (e.g. \u201cWhen The Stars Are Right\u201c or \u201cFate Of All Humanity\u201c) and always heavy enough (\u201cHeaven Shall Burn\u201c) and certainly not (too) cheesy when it comes to ballad-like moments (\u201cCome Home\u201c). That\u2019s how it should be in the given genre. Their fourth album is another concept album, this time about a presumably insane protagonist, a dark psychiatry and damnation. SERIOUS BLACK offer a new album which puts melodies even more into the center of attention this time, which is amazing having the fantastic \u201eMagic\u201c (2017) in mind. \u201cFate Of All Humantiy\u201c exemplifies the quality of the compositions which are vitalized by Urban Breed (v, ex TAD MOROSE, ex BLOODBOUND, TRAIL OF MURDER). A powerful production highlighting the many details completes the picture here. To cut a long story short: Amazingly melodic!
