After releasing their EP Fractions in 2018 and the single “Selfish” in 2020, one could say that metalcore band Modules has been quiet. However, after so much silence for a couple of years the group decided to kick off 2022 with a bang as they released their sophomore project, Detached, a 17-minute presentation that finds the ensemble reflecting on what they’ve been going through these past few years. Detached begins with “Revelation”, a mix of growling and melodic vocals that certainly leaves room for a nice mosh pit. Next, “Set Sails” serves as a display of the band’s blend of metalcore, djent and almost epic metal vibes. This is something they continue to successfully show with the following track, “The Portrait”, which also features some nice breakdowns that’ll certainly create all sorts of mayhem when performed live. Subsequently, “Prognosis of an Oracle” is a better display of the group’s djent influences as they reflect on what the future might bring. Finally, the project closes on “Fragmented”, a tune that finds them exploring the fragility of man and how fractured we all are and/or can be.
To summarize, Modules’s Detached shows that despite the few years without music, the band is as strong as ever as they managed to deliver another solid entry into their catalogue, one that’ll hopefully open doors for a potential album release soon after displaying their promising sound to a broader crowd.
