Enfeeble - Encapsulate this Moment

(CD Album Review)

***
Punishing Metalcore from Germany!

'Encapsulate this Moment' is the second full length from Enfeeble. Playing Metalcore with a healthy dose of Thrash Metal. There is some pretty impressive lead work on display. Take 'Personage Collapse' for instance, listen to that intro! The songs follow the standard loud screaming verse leading to a melodic sung chorus. The main problem this album has is that it lacks real distinction. There is nothing  wrong with what Enfeeble are doing here. There is no doubt they have achieved the sound they were looking for but the problem is many bands have done it before them.

Again this is fine but when your playing an already tried and tested formula you either have to bring something to the table to completely shake things up or execute the formula to perfection and the band don't really do either. The clean production looses some of the heaviness also showing not all is lost, there is some great musicianship here. Luke is a great singer there is  some great vocal arrangements like on 'Cavity Door' with it's layered vocals and he shows what  he is capable of as a vocalist and the album of course has some great moments.  It's a shame because all the ingredients are in place this time but it didn't quite take. Hopefully on the next album that indescribable "fire" will be present and Enfeeble will blow everyone away the potential is there to impress.
