Fifth Alliance, The
Death Poems
The Fifth Alliance is a 5-piece from Breda, The Netherlands who blend blackish sludge, gut-wrenching doom and hypnotic (post)hardcore/metal. After debuting two years ago with their well-received album "Unrevealed Secrets Of Ruin", the band is on full strength for their upcoming release of their successor: "Death Poems", The Fifth Alliance leaps forward in terms of intelligent arrangements, subtle passages and building immense layers of atmosphere, led by Silvia Bergers heartfelt screaming of pure emotion and beauty, merging "Death Poems" into their heaviest outburst yet. ''One word comes to mind when I hear this band, and that word is Vast. The FIFTH ALLIANCEs music is wide open and full of moments of sonic clarity. '' - CVLT Nation ''If you are a fan of doomy, harsh and emotive post-metal, then "Death Poems" is going to be one of your favourite releases of 2015. '' - Peek-A-Boo-Magazine
