UMUR
"Failed Philosophy" is the debut full-length studio album by Albanian death metal act Gverr. The album was independently released in September 2010. Gverr was formed in Tirana in 2007.

Stylistically the music on "Failed Philosophy" is technical/progressive death metal. Death (the band) is an obvious influence, but Gverr is not a Death clone act. There are influences from a lot of other artists in the music too. The material on the 8 track, 35:54 minutes long album are generally well written and well played. The sound production is relatively well sounding too, but it´s in that department where "Failed Philosophy" lacks slightly compared to more professionally produced releases.

Overall "Failed Philosophy" is a promising first release by Gverr, and it´s obvious from the performances on the album, that these guys can play. However I´d like to hear them write music that´s a bit more original and memorable in the future, and a more professional sounding production should also be a focal point, but as it is, "Failed Philosophy" is relatively intriguing and an overall decent product. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
