Article description

There is no escaping this monster: β€œFace the Colossus” comes crushing down like a ten-ton hammer. DAGOBA unleash the full fury of their fast and furious riffing crossbred with a pounding groove and surprisingly emotional passages. With their third album β€œFace the Colossus”, the French take the revolutionary spirit of their hometown Marseilles once again into the world of Modern Metal. Already their first release the EP β€œRelease the Fury” (2001) left a huge impact by the sheer force of their songs that still revealed early influences like Pantera, Machine Head and Fear Factory as well as Death and Black Metal. Their self-titled debut album (2003) put the band into a leading position in the fast growing new wave of French Metal and β€œWhat Hell Is About” (2006) brought their worldwide breakthrough. Once more collaborating with renowned producer Tue Madsen for β€œFace the Colossus”, DAGOBA are now ready for the next big step in their rocketing career: dare to β€œFace the Colossus”!

    Sudden death

by Björn Thorsten Jaschinski (15.09.2008) France is well-known for extravagant, unwieldy bands - see Gojira, Misanthrope - and Dagoba. Their third album is a Metal treasure chest not only containing modern groovy stuff (as some reviews and the band info want to make us believe). Take the title track, for instance; a mixture of brutal symphonic Black Metal with Neo-Thrash guitars. Low-key "The world in between" with its touching leads reminds you of Evergrey - if you want to have a reference, that is. And as mechanical as the riffing may be sometimes ("Somebody died tonight") - the opulent keyboard layers and the emotional, yet crisp vocals save each song from being cold and lifeless. "Back from life" would stand its ground even among the most critical of the Devin Townsend followers, and the imaginary B-side, starting with the intro "Transylvania", followed by "Orphan of you" has a black veil spread over it. Sure, a bizarre mix - but nevertheless gaining profile, quality and considerable clout.
