Wtichbreed's Heretic Rapture Different, Yet Still the Same

Heretic Rapture by Witchbreed is a fairly impressive debut disk on one hand and yet somehow unremarkable on another.
The fusion of metal with a female singer to add melody is hardly anything new in the music scene. Nightwish, Within Temptation, Krypteria, and countless others have adopted this tactic and tried to put their own spin on it to stand out from the crowd.
Even though this is perhaps an overused trend and there is a veritable boatload of mediocre music released in this category, this is a trend I’m all for on the whole. When done correctly, this fusion of melody and aggression can be simply captivating.
Witchbreed doesn’t sound terribly original in concept, but in execution they actually manage to stand out from the crowd nicely.
