Label : Reaper Sound Records

Tracklist:


1.Coward
2.Incorrupted
3.Enemy
4.The burden


Korsan Algerian metal band, their style integrates different influences of  modern metal, Groove, Melodic, Thrash but also traditional heavy metal (heavy metal not at all, nothing of that in the contents) going through the stoner !!!!!! no no it does not go through the stoner. (According to their biography but especially their style integrates  modern U.S metal passing through the metalcore with an addition of djent not really , but melodic and groovy)
Nazih, drummer and co-founder of the RiverGate (a progressive metal band that broke even though it produced good sound and nice music), the latter had decided to launch this project that had always been germinating in his mind, by his nome stealing personal compositions, this project wanted to express his desire to integrate pure power and hard to the melodicity of metal. !!
This time, he is at the controls of the guitar, and with the arrival of the versatile! Ramzy !!!, founder of  Jugulator !!!!! this project was able to take on a more concrete dimension.
Rahim, former childhood friend of Nazih and talented bassist joined the band and in the company of Nazim (ex String Horror incidentally I had a glimpse of the key of String Horror it's remarkable) on the drums, a duo that gave quality to the groovy aspect of the band's compositions.
Korsan was able to focus on the production of its first Maxi in collaboration with the "Henosis" Studios in the Paris region, for a release scheduled for March 2018, as well as the first tests on the full album planned for 2019.

The Despot starts with the title Coward so we have a metal that is far from traditional or usual because it shells it means everything that’s modern and contemporary from the beginning and too melodic at the end of the title, yes it's a nice groove sound played well but will just if you love djent and metalcore I do not like much for me it's like a hot beer!!, but I think it's a good job probably many other people will have liked, Incorrupted is the second title at first it seems thrash metal when you listen guitar and drums sound but what a second after the playing completely changes to groovy , a fucking mix between metalcore / melody and metal groove , tempo the change too abrupt, Enemy it is the third title this title contains passages which can remind us of the name known as Lamb of God, Disturbed , Trivium or maybe Killswitch Engage, I'm not sure but I think it's not out of this style, and we end up with The burden a mix of modern styles  metalcore moment, thrashing moment, bare metal / metal alternative and a good groovy dose, clear and soft vocals with a dose of growl and screaming (we will really more on the ability found by the frontman to shout) often tempo that changes speed after slow and soft rhythmic and often that accelerates suddenly finally we have a successful mix and pleasant, The Despot is a real dynamic surprise from an unknown band, In any case , you should have The Despot in your collection,If you want because you can like or dislike …………
