Exclusive reviews and promo records

Archive for April, 2012

Based in Leicester, UK for over twenty years, Dawson Smith is originally from South Wales and has a well earned reputation for fronting great bands and rockin' venues all over the UK and beyond. Dawson first made his name as the frontman / songwriter of blues rockers The Healers during the 90's.

Following The Healers split, Dawson recorded two successful solo albums, Valley Boy (2002) and The River Road (2005). Plenty of gigging followed, playing with a flexible band line up. In 2005 Dawson put together THE DISSENTERS with the intention of forming his dream 'road band' able to deliver the type of drivin' swamp blues, roots and Americana bar room rock & roll that has always been the backdrop to Dawson's distinctive songs. Now there is a new album on the way: 'Took The Night' is a collection of 11 brand new Dawson songs, recorded with The Dissenters and a host of guest musicians, and tonight celebrates its launch. Special guests making an appearance and featuring on the album include Sally Barker, Mick Ridgway, Lee Spreadbury, Caroline O'Donnell, Talulah Blue, Gaz Birtles and the Mexicali Brass.

FIRESCENT comes from Germany and was formed out of the dissolved MINDCRIME. They describe themselves as influenced by the Scandinavian Metal, namely KATATONIA, and come from a premise of melancholy and darkness. They also rather ambitiously claim to be “hardly comparable to anything being heard so far”, and whilst I concede that the spirit of creativity is definitely there and that they possess their own unique “flavour” I cannot really say that their sound is as original and groundbreaking as the claim would have you believe but the music is of a truly good quality regardless of that boastfulness. The lyrical content deals with some difficult times and resulting emotions and it seems that they strive for their closure and resolution. Also the Scandinavian influence reaches further out to England - Halifax and Liverpool respectively, as you can also feel references to PARADISE LOST and ANATHEMA there, representatively ‘Moving Skywards’ shows the doom and melodic death metal leanings quite well. NEVERMORE may be your next point of reference.

The progressive and even more rock-sounding parts are quite unobtrusive and the weaving of the different trends and its elements is commendable. ‘Convenience Mark’ is one of the best tracks, also a fusion of styles, the changes of tempo and shading of emotions by them is quite striking, the song is strong and even beautiful. ‘Concrete Shores’ has quite an imaginative beginning with harmonica, birds and ship sounds - which sounds clichéd but is well done here - and especially in a way that brings an atmosphere of foreboding broken up by a more breakneck speed guitars & drums and probably more of its nod to thrash metal. ‘Passengers Theme’ is a rather beautiful closing track; the vocals are at their most outstanding here as well as the guitar work in slower parts, thinly shadowed by strings with some solos coming in the mid-tempo and within the faster tempo there is even a small bit of a feel of epic metal to appreciate.  The sound of the waves fades out the album out rather nicely. I felt that the sequencing of songs should have been done better with a bit of pruning to be done, but still, it’s a truly good album with some great moments on it from a band that should be signed already, very promising.

Father Golem began in 1999 from the metal Zero bass band. The idea was to open a bit the musical spectrum of the Group and opt to use other kinds of lyrics and melodic tracks to express what they had inside.

Three discs include them, many concerts, much suffering and wanted to be known have served them so you do get his music and so his fantastic work in the extended news comment. You can listen to the album on Spotify.

Perfect Chaos
A fledgling rhythm guitar increases us the curiosity until the riff of the item, powerful and robust, us explodes in the face. Quality cane, stoppages play, rhythms of Arab influence and a versatile voice do the rest. Huge opening theme.

Circle of Light
Riff more rock to old-style than the previous and the Court in which the Group demonstrates its huge musical background. More pure and hard metal touches and great melody make this song a topic at the same level as the best bands of the European metal. The bridge is spectacular.

Sole Survivor
Item in which combined parts metallic and dark with beautiful melodies in a calmer musical environment. Great mix.

Last Man on Earth
Possibly the best track. There are touches of Maiden, of Stratovarius, Metallica and the own Father Golem return to offer us a beautiful instrumental bridge. For framing.

Infrared
Theme that explores other kinds of musical land. The approach is much more progressive that other cuts and this half-time becomes the jewel hidden on the disk.

The Evercycling Journey Part 1: Trapped Among Gravity Fields
This song reminds us of many of which were recorded in the 70 by progressive rock bands. A long item, Although all the previous pass of 8 minutes, with a solid structure, with their parts clearly differentiated and precious.

The Evercycling Journey Part 2: Impact!
Get the pure cane band distilled as anyone. Huge work group in the musical and singer who proves to be a great vocalist. More progressive touches and a grand historic finale.

Little else is there to say. A ti, reader/a, I advise that you hear them and that you go to see him in his conceTo youotros, Group, I would say that you do not say that ye are Spanish, would perhaps so you hire as "the great promise of the European metal" or something so. But know this, the irony, your disk has too much quality to the listener means metal in Spain. Try the disc in other countries and will be one of the best bands of the old continent. Masterpiece.

With their third album, World Under Fire, England's Vendetta stays the course. Lead guitarist extraordinaire Edward Box, the band delivers another platter of classic melodic heavy and power metal, charged with Box's often politically and socially charged lyrics.

Vendetta Band Photo
Vendetta: trying to blend in.

 Is World Under Fire as good as the two previous efforts? I wasn't sure after a first listen, during a five mile walk. But a second spin cured my ambivalence. This is a good album, but hardly different from what we've heard in the past. Musicianship, as usual, is exceptional and, of course, Box rips it up on guitar.

Also song composition holds no real surprises. If anything, with only a few exceptions, nothing is overly outstanding or compelling, rather simply the quality and caliber we should expect from Vendetta. Those choice cuts come latter on the album including Fragmented Reality, The Ghost Inside, and Lords of Chaos. That last song with Blast Radius offer Box's political commentary. Another kudo to the lyrical side goes to Halo in Black, a slight to celebrity.

Reading the above, it may appear that I'm still being ambivalent or indifferent aboutWorld Under Fire, but that would not be the case. I like this album. It merely deserves more than a cursory listen. Having done so, World Under Fire is easily recommended, and a worthy addition to Vendetta's growing catalog.
