Exclusive reviews and promo records

Archive for March, 2012

Whilst working on the tracks, the band started looking for a singer. This proved to be a tough task as the singer they were searching for required great versatility and uniqueness. Finally, after four months, the band made contact with a talented singer from London, Johnny Icon. With Antonio’s overwhelming keyboards, the explosive, yet touching, guitar playing of Gianmaria, the power of both Andrea’s bass guitar lines andFederico’s drums plus the incredible voice of Johnny IconAce of Hearts’ sound can remind the listener of bands like Metallica, Nightwish or HIM.

Confused? Then all you’ve got to do is to listen to the record!!!

It's common enough for musical groups to invoke demonic imagery or sounds to give their music a certain counter-cultural toughness, a rebellion that recognizes no rules. Black Sabbath, an early innovator of this mode, opened their first album with the dark-sounding three note interval known as the tritone that set the mood for their occult-inspired lyrics to "Black Sabbath." The tritone, also known by the Latin expression diabolus in musica, has a unique sound, one that has been long been considered too dark, too mysterious, for certain kinds of music. Readers will most likely remember that Slayer (no stranger to demonic imagery and lyrics) named their albumDiabolus in Musica after this same musical interval, although they most likely didn't mind the mild controversy over the double meaning of "the devil in music." Spain's own Diabulus in Musica has finally turned the expression into a bold and memorable band name. Sure, they've changed the spelling a little, but the name continues to grab attention and brings to mind centuries of debate over the musical value of a mysterious interval.

The Wanderer, Diabulus in Musica's second release, is the follow-up to their successful debut Secrets (2010). Though relatively new, Diabulus in Musica is already establishing a large following, receiving awards for their performances, and gaining praise for their blend of symphonic metal with just a little bit of death metal. The Wanderer makes for a good sophomore release, one that builds on past successes and helps develop something of the energy that has given this band such a strong reputation. This is a band that has a well-established rhythm section. Check out tracks like "Shadow of the Throne" and "Allegory of Faith, Innocence, and Future" for examples of the backing quality of this group.

Listeners will also enjoy the vocals by Zuberoa Aznárez. She has a great range, and brings diversity and harmony to The Wanderer's overall sound. I think that Diabulus in Musica will continue to rise and should easily gain more fans in the coming years.

Despite the many strengths of The Wanderer, I was disappointed with the eclectic range of tracks on this album. I realize that heavy metal is changing and that the concept of genre is constantly being challenged by bands and scholars alike. Nevertheless, the range of heavy and slow songs on this album made me question just what overall impression Diabulus in Musica is trying to make. At times, they sound like a death metal band, but at other times they sound like an upbeat symphonic metal act. And then there are more confusing tracks like "Sentenced to Life" which sound more like something taken from a musical. I shouldn't fault experimentation, but I don't think this band has quite settled on exactly what they hope to do musically. With this one, I think the devil's more in the details than in the music. If you like good symphonic metal, The Wanderer is a good choice, but it left me more curious to know what this band will do next.

Hurling you back to the late Sixties, complete with paisley shirts, is UK's Stubb. This power trio brings heavy and psychedelic rock with damp basement production, little overdubs, and lots of fuzz. You might hear Cream or Hendrix in their vibe; it's like listening to the early proto-metal or stoner rock only in the present.

Stubb Band Photo
Above, Stubb: making a bold fashion statement, with pipe, McVities, and tea.

 Mostly Stubb captures that genuine and classic heavy-psych rock feel across this disc. The better songs for this overarching motif are the opener Road and the closer Galloping Horses. That latter song and title betrays more than a little irony: galloping usually suggest speed while the song is mostly slow steady heavy rock. Hard Hearted Woman has a more of a lively attitude, yet still remains thumping rock. Surprises are the acoustic notes within the dirge Crosses You Bear and deep grooved Crying River. As for the rest the album, it's pretty much heavy rock.

Like their kin, Stone Axe or Grifter, Stubb get the whole early heavy rock thing, and produce an interesting and adequate platter of tunes. They're just 40 years removed from yesterday. Recommended.

"My hatred of prog rock and it's mushroom munching, Hobbit-loving fans"

I'd love to force this writer, Rory O'Keeffe, to attend Nearfest, just out of spite, with comments like that..That write-up, while intriguing, reeks of the attittude hordes of snobs (and Hipsters) who pine for the return of At the Drive-In.

"The best American Rock Band to come out of the second half of the 1990s"  ? well, not really.

They were good and can be applauded for ambition, but there are other bands that at least formed and recorded their earliest music then that I still would take easily over AtDI. How about dredg, for one.

02. Aegis (5:11)
03. Dyslexicon (4:22)
04. Empty Vessels Make The Loudest Sound (6:43)
