Jumpscare is an Italian band founded in 2015. They started as an alternative metal but with their first album they abandoned their previous style to be focused only on melodic death with "core" (mostly metalcore and deathcore) and symphonic influences! Unlike traditional death metal, this album features a lot of modern elements. The album consists of razor-sharp guitar tracks, as well as precise drums and heavy bass lines, incorporated well with the singer's vocals.

The album features 8 tracks with a total length of 33 minutes, but make no mistake – though the songs are shorter than we are used to in the melodic death metal genre – they are reaching and touching, the lyrics are exciting and overall the whole album is well managed. Through the music I've lost count of time. I've enjoyed the whole release – such albums make a good reminder why I love extreme music so much – it brings the joy and fun out of me and takes me back to my teenage years when I first discovered death metal.

I give this album a 10/10, because this album makes a perfect masterpiece in my eyes. I was so lucky to own a physical copy so I passed days reading lyrics and figuring out what the band wanted to achieve with this album. Also, the guys from Jumpscare were very kind to answer some of my questions in their Facebook group about the songs, giving me have more material for this review and judging their work better! From beginning to end, this album is one of the best melodic/modern death metal I have ever listened to so far.

I think that Jumpscare really killed it. They made a fantastic album and I bet that they will be part of something new in the near future. They deserve more, so go check them out. An honorable mention to the producer Tommaso from Genus Ordinis Dei for his great work producing this masterpiece.
