Sarsekim have been around since 1998, made two EPs  

and have just released their debut album "Fathom    

The Spheres". If you haven't heard of the music of  

Sarsekim it's basically Technical Death Metal with  

a kind of blackened feeling about it. Not only      

that but they throw in a fair bit of melody into    

the mix. It's actually quite an interesting mix of  

extreme and somewhat melodic. Let's dissect this    

diverse ball of metal a bit further though.         

          

The first thing I noticed about Fathom The Spheres  

is that the production is a lot better than on      

previous Sarsekim releases. The drumming for        

example is cleaner and while it could possibly      

sound deeper (the bass drum on some tracks more     

than anything) it is clear of any kind of muddy     

sounding layer. This album is something that        

generally sounds quite good loud without any        

interfering drone.      

          

The music itself is pretty good too. The vocals     

are a combination of a higher kind of rasp and a    

deeper Death Metal growl. While this is more of a   

Death Metal album than anything the blackened aura  

does contribute to its distinctiveness. The         

standout adaptation though is the technical side    

of the Death Metal. The drumming is fast; often     

with blasting double bass and the guitar-work is    

fast on the notes and the strumming. Sometimes      

even with a contrasting heavier and comparatively   

slower secondary guitar. The melody comes with the  

technicality as you'd expect, with the clever       

solos and higher guitar notes.        

          

Fathom The Spheres is unique in that it could       

appeal to a whole multitude of metal fans but not   

necessarily all of those in each style's fan        

group. Technical Death Metal fans will most likely  

like it, it still contains enough brutality for     

the other side of the Death Metal world to enjoy    

it and those into melody (and perhaps even Melodic  

Death Metal) could find some satisfaction in the    

album. Even though you wouldn't at all classify     

Sarsekim's music as "Melodeath".      

          

I liked Fathom The Spheres in the end for its       

variety and its cleanliness. Even though Technical  

Death Metal isn't the variety of our most extreme   

style that I enjoy the most. Its other elements     

hooked me in enough to make me want to listen to    

this album multiple times. Technical Death Metal    

fans should love this album while others though     

will still like it.
