Often derided for their use of syrupy female vocals in the context
of rather stock melodic metalcore, Germanys Deadlock appears to
have totally figured things out with their fifth album, Bizarro
World. Make no bones about it the band is an acquired taste,
especially when Sabine Wenigers poppy clean vocals are dropped
in, yet Deadlock has managed to pull together at least a
half-dozen memorable songs here, something that couldnt be said
for their previous output, most notably 2008s inconsistent
Manifesto.
The bulk of the 11 songs here run a similar pattern, which is the
use of Johannes Prems gruff vocals for the verse, and Wenigers
female vocals for the chorus. Obviously, this template has been
beaten to death, although the Germans have some winners on their
hands, especially opener Virus Jones and Falling Skywards.
Weniger is primary benefactor here, as her moments in the chorus
are about as stickly-sweet and hummable as anything ever heard in
melodic death metal. Her growth as a vocalist is even more evident
on album highlight State of Decay, which would be the obvious
choice for a lead single, as its just her on the entire song.
Lots of riff and melodic ideas stem from the big tree of German
melodic metalcore (Heaven Shall Burn, Maroon, Caliban, et al),
although the gentle keyboards on the radio-oriented You Left Me
Dead displays a rash of versatility said bands probably wouldnt
pursue. The band still has this weird and unnecessary interest in
techno music, something that comes back to bite them on
Renegade, which would be a solid song if it werent for the
techno bits in the chorus. Metal and techno dont mix, kids.
Because of the added bonus of Weniger, Deadlock appear to be
poised to avoid the trappings of their German metalcore
contemporaries. Theres just a much wider spread in which the band
can operate from, and Bizarro World is a bold move from a band not
afraid to take chances. Plus, Weniger is easy on the eyes. Yet
another bonus.
