Bloody Dead And Sexy
Bad Ambient
Dark Dimensions
Almost ten years ago I discovered the music of
this band; I was browsing on the internet and I read some very
positive reviews about “Paint It Red”, their first album. I
really enjoyed to those razor-sharp guitars, the quite strong
rhythmic section, and that theatrical voice with a very distinctive
tone. Sometime later, they came back with another pretty strong album
called “The Narcotic Room” their music wax and wane in a very
graceful way from really energetic tunes, to some delightful moments
filled with sensuality and atmosphere. “An Eye On You” is a fine
piece of Death Rock from The New Millennium, and now they have this
new album called “Bad Ambient”
This album is defined by one term: maturity.
Their musical style is consolidated, and this is a very well
constructed and balanced album. The opener track is quite electric and catchy; “One By One” is
fast rhythm with vertiginous guitars. The Death Rock assault
continues with “Never Street”, this is a perfect balance of
energy and melody. And then “Baby Moon” creates that sensual mood
with enchanting melody and passion, I just loved that acoustic touch
in this track; awesome! ”Gloom Within” has deep bass lines and
pretty seductive slow-tempo melody, it goes in crescendo and it
reaches an outbreak of vertiginous energy; this track is really
mind-blowing. “Plastic Night Sky” features the mesmerizing vocal
presence of Gitane Demone, this song belongs to the night and the
moon light. It has lots of passion and it is a pretty inspired track.
“Without” is mid-tempo and melodic, but the rhythm section sounds
like machinery. They return to the good guitar-oriented Death Rock
with “Torn Velvet Blues” This one have some well placed and
electrifying guitar riffs, and they were mixed with some acoustic
sound; this song has a very special energy. “Home Is Were My Heart
May Rest” is quite introspective and dramatic; gloomy sound here.
“Something Real” is a sample of their way to do some really good
Death Rock, this song made me think in the “Paint It Red” album.
“Bring Out Your Dead” has involving sound and romantic feeling.
“End Of the Night” is the second track featuring Gitane Demone,
and is quite atmospheric too. “Wasting Time In Berlin” adds more
variety to this album and is kind of an experimental, exploring
different sounds. And finally “House Of The Common People” closes
this album in a really good way.
As I said before, almost ten years ago I met this band thanks to
very positive reviews on the internet, and the funny thing is that
now I’m writing a review about their new album! And I like this band, I like this record and I have the same
enthusiasm for their music like the one that I had almost ten years
ago. They have improved their music, and at the same time they are
doing what they do better: Some of the finest Death Rock of The New
Millennium.
