HMB´S REVIEW

"Spark of Hope," Psychework's third album released on September 29th, 2023, presents eight high-quality heavy metal tracks featuring compelling vocal performances by Antony Parviainen. The album is recognized for its robust death metal foundation coupled with a grimy sound, incorporating elements from heavy and thrash metal genres.

The cover artwork, skillfully crafted by Chris Moyen, adds visual depth to the album, which was recorded under the expertise of Javi Félez at Moontower Studios.

The album's tracklist includes standout titles such as "Shape of a Ghost," "River Runs Red," "Kiova," "Interstellar," "Damage All Done," "C.O.T.S.," "Out of the Darkness," and "Viipuri." Critics have praised the album for its unwavering energy and intensity, effectively channeling aggression and angst without compromising the memorable singalong qualities that define a song. In essence, "Spark of Hope" not only marks a promising milestone for Psychework but also underscores the band's distinctive sound and style.
