Varsovie, interesting, just imagine, what it must feel like to have a hammer hit a nail right between your eyes, I am talking about the experience in that it will be rather unforgetable and not neccessarily about the pain that comes with it, so is Varsovie rather like the nail ( or the hammer?). A bit of both actually.
Intelligent and emotionally charged like lightening it unleashes itself onto your ears, stabbing at your senses until you submit to this glorious feast. Delight for ears and head in equal measures.
Handling the guitars like the finest blades they carve a path of rage and intensity in to the music.The drums an onslought of urgency and finally a voice that adds to it the cadenzas of torture and ravaging madness.
Neuf Millimetres starts with the drums and and a lonely guitar striking what could almost be considered something of the cold and melancholy.Slowly the bass creeps in and the voice seems to noticably become more agitated and frantic.What starts rather composedly soon descends into realms of frustration.
Varsovie and Leningrad picks up the pace with even more frantic energy. The drums are thunderous and unrelenting as is the guitars.However do not mistake this for lack of melody or composition. This is intelligently crafted music.
Some Days stabds out on this disk, purely because it seems to slightly slow down the pace on this terrific disk. Almost anthem like in the chorus.And filled to brim with melodic poison and emotion.A lovely track!
This trio certainly has the talent and the emotional capacity to go far. A wonderful disk!
Highly recommended for those into post punk/goth
