О группе:
В связи с выходом нового альбома и неимением таковой темы у нас - исправляю :)
Уже довольно известный коллектив из Греции, играющие диковинный постблэк с изрядной долей каких-то авант замахов, что если бы не бОльшая часть первой составляющей, то их можно было смесо в дистортед поместить.
Честное слово я уже как-то даже отвык описывать музыкальную составляющую, но как-то попытаюсь.
Представьте себе, постблэк, приблизительно такой каким он и должен быть, но иногда сбивается совсем в нечто другое и непонятное, например, идет грустное тремоло под завораживающие космические клавиши :)
Ну а монологи, сэмплы и женские вокалы совсем проясняют картину - все просто - вы находитесь в теарте и на сцене разыгрывается душещипательная драма :)
Где-то так
Ну кому мало можете прочитать неплохое ревью с метал-архивов.
Transcending Bizzare? is one of the most unique bands I've come across in quite a while. Their first full length, The Four Scissors, shows a demonstration of a mixture of avante-garde and symphonic elements, both in keyboards/synths and guitar. When a band of bored Greek guys get together, this is what you end up with.
The Four Scissors starts out with a pretty odd intro, "Satellite Souls," which after two and a half minutes morphs into "Dessicated," a song loaded with tremolo riffing and pounding double bass drums, meshed with odd orchestral keys and ..dare I say it, bizarre pinch harmonics scattered about. "A New Saturn!" has to be the best track on the album. This single song showcases the truly avant-garde tendencies of this band. A lot of uplifting, yet somewhat sorrow-filled staccatos on part of the keys give this song a truly ...epic (I honestly hate describing things as "epic") feel.
Moving on, the beginning of most of the songs on this album consists of weird spoken word monologues and quotes from movies before diving right into the music. Precise drumming, great guitar riffs, and the bass is a gigantic wall, reimbursing the rest of the instruments.
Vocally, The Four Scissors is very inconsistent. They range from standard black metal, to death metal growls, to... a mixture of the two. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but it fits at parts, and sometimes does take a bit away from the music itself. If anything, this is the only flaw on the album.
As for the production, it's very high end, but not flawless. Some of the effects clash with the high pitches, creating a frequency disturbance. The synthesizer uses a radio-static effect, and when this clashes with the bass and guitars, there's a slight fuzz-out, diminishing the volume almost completely. This is a major problem throughout the album, and can be quite annoying.
Flaws aside, this is a very enjoyable release and I recommend it to anyone who's up for different, more orchestral/dramatic themed metal.
