Well, that’s not the case of Conveyor with “An Incarnated Abstraction” which struggle to be a band that offer a technically complex performance. “An Incarnated Abstraction” is an album with very complex guitar playing. The thing is that Conveyor don’t follow the same path most technical bands follow. I mean, guitars phrases and riffs aren’t based on simply going up and down major and exotic scales in a way to seem complex. Guitarist Bartek Domanski builds his performance using lots of dissonances and tempo breaks. He seems to be playing jokes with his guitar with all the time and counter-time notes he performs. “An Incarnated Abstraction” is technically complex also because of its experimental verve which is led by the ‘broken’ guitar notes. If you pay enough attention, note that blast beats in Conveyor are done by the guitar, not by the drums only.
Let’s go back to the vocals thing, shall we? As I told before, vocals are the glue that bonds Extreme Metal bands. It’s a fact that this kind of guitar playing takes out much of the power and the bone-grinding spirit needed to be extreme. That’s why vocals need to be that way. They are a reminder of whom they are in despite of all the experimentalism with the guitars. That’s what Conveyor did in“An Incarnated Abstraction” where guitars were free to look for new directions. It’s a come and go all time. Guitars fly away to then come back to the good old Death Metal bone-crushing. The outcome is technically amazing.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
