L'EFFET
C'EST MOI "Tomber En Heros" CD
(wop39) War office propaganda
Adopting a quote from Friedrich Nietzche as
name, this new interesting music entity rises from Recanati, Italy,
same hometown of Der Feuerkreiner, with whom it seems to share a passion
for epic, neoclassical and martial compositions. L'Effet C'Est Moi
("the result is me") refers, in particular, to a concept
with which the famous German philosopher suggested an identification
between the ruling class and the results achieved by the community.
The idea of power and domination dwells among the two parts in which
the CD is subdivided, the first coping with the splendour of the Roman
Empire at its zenith, the second with the dark sides of its might,
that have survived through the ages and formed the totalitarian regimes
of the 20th Century. A magnificent world of conquests, armies, battles,
emperors and immortality, through excellent orchestral keyboards,
epic piano themes and hammering martial percussions. 12 tracks, approx.
44 minutes running time, CD in digipack.

L.E.A.K.
/ KOSMOPHON "Duochromatic CD
Fin de Siecle Media
The music of L.E.A.K. is sometimes disturbing, sometimes beautiful,
but always sincerely present. The soundscapes take you to one of those
rare places where structure and chaos are not necessarily mutually
exclusive. L.E.A.K. released the album “The Old Tea House”
on Cold Meat Industry in 2001. Kosmophon - a side project of weird
British cult soundtrack fetishist Caesar Romero, who released the
highly recommended CD Matamoros” on his on Shadowfist label.
The material presented here is of a very different nature. The sleaze
and spaghetti western hints are replaced by minimal and hypnotic analog
electro noise experiments.

LES
FRAGMENTS DE LA NUIT "Musique Du Crépuscule" CD
(e2008) Equilibrium Music
"Musique du Crépuscule" is
a vision of night wrapped in mystery: a night haunted by spectral
chants, under the spell of epic, poignant strings and sustained by
hypnotic piano pulsations. Its nocturnal universe oozes with hybrid
ink, enveloping hidden emotions tainted with melancholy and voluptuousness.
A neo-classical or post-nocturnal piece, "Musique du Crépuscule"
has many different faces. It alternates between violin riffs, dark
cello projections and the complaints of a lone piano, highlighted
by enigmatic echoing voices.

LONGING
FOR DAWN "Between Elation And Despair" CD

"Between Elation And Despair" is the
third opus from Canada's leading Atmospheric Doom outfit. Following
their highly acclaimed second album "A Treacherous Ascension"

Expanding their signature sound of heart felt melancholic melodies
supported by crushing rhythmic parts, hammering drums and sorrow filled
vocals, they've this time shrouded everything in ritualistic and highly
evocative ambient soundscapes, not unlike their previous album but
the sound has now been pushed further into unchartered territories
resulting in a distinct and truly singular listening experience. Longing
For Dawn are definitely walking their own path, onward towards a new
dawn...

LONGING
FOR DAWN "A Treacherous Ascension" CD
(Grau007) Grau Records
There is doom metal and there is doooooom metal.
Well, Canada's LONGING FOR DAWN definitely fits the second definition,
their music is filled with melancholy and depressively crushing atmospheres
and is reminiscent of bands like Thergothon, Evoken or Morgion while
definitely adding their own unique touch to the genre. Solemn drumming,
spoken words, deep growls, monumental riffing and melancholic guitar
leads: all elements of true doom are there. But there is more, for
Longing For Dawn adds think layers of eerie Dark Ambient soundscapes
to the mix creating a very particular sound of their own. “A
Treacherous Ascension” resonates a profound atmosphere of despair
and is as compelling as a misty day in the throes of death and dying.

LONSAI
MAIKOV vs DISSONANT ELEPHANT "Thee Darkening Ov Powers"
CD
(oecd079) Old Europa Cafe
After 6 years of silence finally the long awaited
come-back album by LONSAI MAIKOV for this release joining force with
DISSONANT ELEPHANT (both projects featured on the legendary compilation
"Mystteria Mithrae" by Athanor). Their new common album
is an exposition of the Dark side of the Spiritual travel in the world.
A Shamanic travel, an extra-corporal musical inner travel, not ecstatic
but a meditating one even if everything has two face, two side and
different degrees, and so implies also some violent experiment. The
"esosymphonic pop-folk" has been completed by more electronic
rough sounds and dark ambient martial sounds "Thee Darkening
ov Powers" has been a long work of meditation, writing and composition,
paradox of meditation, elaborating sounds that reflects our thoughts
and deeds about the real religious and spiritual history of the World
has we know it.
