Caer Ibormeith - Flesh And Blood

Caer Ibormeith - Flesh And Blood

\r\nCaer Ibormeith needs special treatment. We presented this band some\r\nyears ago when a Demo had been released but to be honest, that Demo did\r\nnot betray the material that we find in this album. Just to mention,\r\nCaer Ibormeith comes from France and they have released 2 Demos (Flora\r\n2004, Orftum 2005) and a full length album called O Hanami (2006) so\r\nfar. Flesh And Blood is the new opus of the band and through it, we are\r\nable to find 10 songs which are very difficult to categorize because of\r\nthe fact that the influences are various and numerous and also, there\r\nis a plethora of changes between the feelings in each song. Someone may\r\nsay that the band doesn’t have many common things with the extreme\r\nsound. And he might be true. But, this does not mean that Caer\r\nIbormeith has nothing in common with the past golden eras, which guide\r\nus in Metal situations. In this album there are many parts that seem to\r\nbe influenced by the Alternative Rock / Metal scene. There are also\r\nmany Progressive parts. Also there are some Atmospherical influences.\r\nThe vocals and the vocal lines in general remind us something\r\nunfamiliar to the extreme sound, something closer to Pop music. This is\r\nnot bad at all, because vocals are exactly how they should be in a\r\nmusic style like this and the result is extraordinary. To tell you the\r\ntruth, there are also some brutal vocals in some songs which remind me\r\nof Hardcore and Nu Metal bands but these vocals are in the background.\r\nThe one thing that characterizes the music of Caer Ibormeith, is the\r\nplethora of different, various and catchy melodies. The production is\r\nsomething more than strong and this is another positive element for the\r\nband. It is obvious that the musicians are talented and they know very\r\nwell how to compose interesting and beautiful music. In my view, the\r\nhigh light of the album is the song Just Animals and besides this, all\r\nother songs are interesting and easy to listen to. The music of Caer\r\nIbormeith is a kind of experiment for those who are not familiar with\r\nsomething different than the extreme sound. \r\n
