Fields of Locust

[Lanz]

Fields Of Locust - пост-метальный квартет родом из Греции (Патра). Собрались вместе в 2008 году, а в 2010 своими силами издали дебютный альбом Subtopia. Особой информации о себе группа не дает.

От себя скажу что на альбоме можно услышать очень неплохой (хотя и не особо оригинальный) пост-метал с грубым вокалом, и некоторыми нотками стонера, что запоминается.

Рецензии

This is the debut album from an experimental band. Fields Of Locust are from Greece and they are Michalis on guitars and vocals, Ilias on guitars, Thanos on bass and Nikos on drums. ‘Subtopia’ is the first step of this promising post-metal band which confirms a brilliant future. They mix modern sounds of rock and metal and they produce harsh and psychedelic sounds. Their vocals are savage and sludgy. Their music is visional and inspired. Their lyrics are deliberate, sensible and shattered. They try to mix post-rock and sludge metal parts and they accomplish it in an excellent way. I could connect them with bands like Russian Circles and Red Sparowes, but on the other hand when the screams lead and the head banging machine take on they approach Cult of Luna and Rosetta. Excellent atmosphere and surges that makes you get into their compositions. Six themes and an hour of brilliant music included. Compositions that combine doom parts, sludge riffs, stoner atmosphere and post modern ideas. This is a D.I.Y. production but the sound surprises me in a very good way. There was no record labels involved so they will distribute it their selves, hand to hand or via shipping.

Lately there have been so many uninspired Isis-wanna-be bands popping up all over the place. The worst thing about it is that most of those bands also think that downtuning their guitars and playing sludgey riffs in whatever order they choose is "good". These bands usually have one stand-out track per album where they have seemingly just lucked out and got their power chords in a correct sequence.

So how can a band that has only been together for two years basically blow every other Post-Metal band out of the water instrumentally and not sound like they're ripping someone off? Firstly, they're entirely self-funded and this means they already have 100% passion and dedication for whatever they're creating. This doesn't mean it's going to be perfect of course. You need the creativeness and skill to back up your motivation to make a good release, and thankfully Fields Of Locust deliver.

You will often find yourself nodding your head to a riff, or just relaxing to a nice Stoner-Rock-esque passage. Opener 'The Province Of Thieves' is the most aggressive on the album. The reason for this is the overuse of vocals. They sound like a Pterodactyl screeching out of Jamey Jasta's(Hatebreed) ass. While I've slowly become accustomed to them, they're easily the only downfall of this album. Good news though. The singing is few and far between and when the vocals do come into the foray, they're usually at the correct time.

The albums standout track '...Under The Hunters Moon' overflows from the previous track with a bassline which builds into serene distorted guitars that interweave into each other. A drum pattern lets the dual guitars battle each other for a climax just after the five minute mark where vocals kick back in. The vocals are brief and in the background as to let the guitars go onward with their battle. The pivotal climax in the song is just after the seven minute mark where a solo finally overwhelms the other guitarist and takes victory. They both celebrate the occasion with a softly picked outro together. Beautiful.

If you're looking for an album to match Rosetta for the post-metal crown this year, look no further than this inspirational debut from a band who promises a lot in the future.
