THE SPEAR OF THE LILY IS AUREOLED

The style on The Spear of the Lily is Aureoled is melodic death metal but with a the strange twist that there are some really great parts in some of the songs with trumpet. It´s the only part of Scuptured´s music on The Spear of the Lily is Aureoled that I would deem progressive but it sounds great when that trumpet appears. The music is actually very enjoyable even though I don´t find the growling vocals very convincing or powerful for that matter.

The musicianship is good and there are lots of soaring melodic guitar leads in all songs. This is a very melodic album.

The production is not that good. I think it´s allright but only barely.

I think this is an exciting album and I´ll definitely check out the next albums from Sculptured even though melodic death metal is not my favorite genre. Sculptured has other tricks up their sleeve though and that´s the difference. 3 stars is well deserved for The Spear of the Lily is Aureoled. Don´t expect the music to be overtly technical or challenging though. This is above all a pleasant melodic metal album.
