With "The Only Salvation", Norway's Artifact offer us a multifaceted adventure that blends gothic, rock, metal and industrial elements in a remarkably strong way. Juicy riffs, crunchy synths and huge choruses amalgamate with varied atmospheres which pend between aggressive volcanos ("Dead Eyes", "New Messiah") and emotional, thoughtful beauty ("Scapegoated & Demonized"). A highly tasty gateau for all who're addicted to exciting guitar versus electronic switchbacks!
