Noteworthy Albums of No Renown #2: Golem - Dreamweaver

Artist: Golem
Album: Dreamweaver
Year: 2004
Label: Nuclear Blast



Faces from Golem's 2004 release 'Dreamweaver' absolutely pulverizes with one of my favorite metal openings and riffs (1:01). Reviewers complain of the album's overly produced nature, but I agree with Metal Archives reviewer Thamuz that the 'metalcore' polish on the album actually contributes to the cold, machine-like mood of 'Dreamweaver'. Thamuz, by the way, is one hell of an album reviewer and even though he hasn't been active on the site for a while he is a great read. In fact, after reading his review I'll just leave my review at that: if you like the opening and primary riffs from this track, you'll like the whole album. It is very consistent.

For fans of: Gojira, Amon Amarth (not thematically), Decapitated
