The Fifth Alliance – Stenahoria Review By Thus Spoke

Stenahoria roughly translates to “sorrow” in Greek, a fitting title for The Fifth Alliance’s fourth full-length, which centers on the “shared human experience of sorrow, fear, and confinement.”1 The Dutch group—appropriately a five-piece—are in some sense starting anew despite their longevity, with a new vocalist, Natalya Thelen, and a new drummer, Peter Scheffer. In another sense, they are unchanged and remain a slightly morbid-leaning2 post/black/sludge entity armed with viciousness and vivacity. A seven-year interval is not nothing, however, and The Fifth Alliance show aspects of themselves that diverge in more ways than one.

Stenahoria feels strikingly heftier than prior releases. The Fifth Alliance lean harder into sludge and occasionally stoner (“Battle of Barnet”), with long riffs caked in feedback. The heaviness is of a weightier, battering sort, approaching Pilori at its peak (“Phoenix”), never forsaking the blackened influence that sees tremolos shiver violently against the crunching backdrop and drums erupt out of their crawl. There is also a slight tilt in favor of clean vocals, lending the groovier, smoother passages a Chelsea Wolfe air. Like her predecessor, Natalya provides both the sung and the screamed narration, and her range is impressive, her harsh vocals particularly potent. But her cleans take center-stage in roughly equal measure, a more grounded presence that works in tandem with the blunter edge of the riffs and denser rhythms for an oddly fortifying experience.

The Fifth Alliance create just as much of an atmosphere with their new approach, and it’s one full of feeling. The way “Phoenix” explodes into existence with a maniacal roar had me grinning from ear to ear, and this passionate vitriol is what drives some of Stenahoria’s best moments. Powerful singing morphs into burning screams layering over one another, escalating with the pitch of the guitars (“Benandanti,” “Jakob”). This translates to the instrumentation, which matches the intensity by tipping over into blackened-death-coded tumult led by frenetic tremolos and wild percussion (“The Fool…,” “Jakob”). The drumming in general is stellar in this regard,3 restlessly shuffling and adding layers of dynamism (“The Fool….,” “Battle of Barnet”) even in the quieter sections, where a lesser band or performer in the subgenre would be content with simplicity. Rhythm plays into the power of the vocals and riffs just as much as it does the percussion when Stenahoria reaches its apexes. It heightens the mournfulness and drama of the suddenly descending melodies (“The Fool…,” “Jakob”) as they stutter and surge in step with cymbals and emphatically-delivered lyrics. It propels the punch of repeated lyrics, sung then roared over and over (“Phoenix,” “Benandanti”). It creates groove and rippling energy throughout.

It’s only a few missteps that hold Stenahoria back, but they’re not all trivial. The Fifth Alliance have a tendency to weaken a great song with an aspect that doesn’t serve it, usually the insertion of cleans or a more post-hardcore or stoner vibe between the driving melodic and otherwise stirring soundscapes (“Phoenix,” “Benandanti,” “Jakob”). In drifting towards a cleaner sound, the group are evidently experimenting, and it does often pay off, but the diversion into full stoner—save very final movement—”Battle of Barnet” four-fifths of the way through remains at odds with neighbours “The Fool on the Hill” and “Jakob,” where these elements are much better integrated and are quite dull in comparison. More egregious to some will be the clean vocals themselves, which possess a polarizing, half-shouted haughtiness I personally could only forgive on the all-round brilliant centerpiece “The Fool on the Hill,” where their chestiness runs seamlessly into the catharsis of the screams and fantastic compositional climaxes.

Over repeated listens, Stenahoria won me over to the point where I truly enjoyed it in spite of my personal distaste for the singing and its uneven brilliance. The Fifth Alliance don’t rewrite the rulebook, but they have reinvented their sound to a degree and with overall success, maintaining their heaviness and adding depth. If this is the start of a new era for the band, they have a solid future ahead.
