Xcentrik - Welcome To The War

\r\nIt is nice to see bands experimenting with their sound and creating music which stems from musicians’ influences, it has however a completely personal style. Danish Xcentrik it’s not a usual band, something which is revealed through the polymorphism existing in their debut album "Welcome To The War". The band combines the Space Rock style of Faith No More with more Progressive Rock / Metal forms and some bursts which remind even Megadeth. There are some elements that keeps away this release from the extreme sound and these are some influences from David Bowie, Frank Zappa etc. It’s true that, in order to love this album, one should dedicate many hours of listening, as the music has something special  which may trouble some listeners. The melodies we find here are not typical and usual and when they come from keyboards, then Faith No more come immediately to our mind. In general, it’s about a very bizzare work, which may win a certain group of fans, those who experiment with their hearings and want to discover something new. We are not used to hear many Progressive bands from Denmark, but as it seems, there are such works and if they occupy themselves more with it, they will be heard more.\r\n
