When I got this promo I though “ well another mediocre metalcore release” and i have to admit that the front cover of the album really made me to underestimate these guys. But when the music came on , I really changed my mind.
\r\nThe third full length release by the Germans Human Fortess is a fact, another Massacre records release. Despite the fact that the album in its most duration is a very good power progressive metal effort of the 90’s something is missing here with this release but let’s talk about music.
This is the first effort by German outfit Νachtgeschrei of Massacre Records and probably this is the best weather to hear such an album like “Hoffnungsschimmer”
\r\nMany folklore melodies with many parts that consisted of flutes and violin part with a “goth rock” attidute is the main ingredients of “Hoffnungsschimmer”
\r\nIn specific parts their music can be described as prog rock, but due too the misunderstandood meaning of the genre I’ll try to avoid such a comparison.
\r\nJorn belongs to this kind of people, whose creativity doesn’t allow them to rest almost never. We hear of his name very often during the last years, as he has worked with several bands, either as a part of the permanent line-up or as a guest in various projects. Charismatic, with such a great voice and very expressive, no doubt he is one of the most important frontmen of our times.
\r\nThere’s brief info about the band in their myspace, which informs us about their history so far. Chronicle Shadows is coming from the ashes of the band Stormblade, which has released a demo-cd of 5 tracks a few years ago. With some changes in the line-up, the band gets in the studio again in order to work on a full-length album, while looking for a record company.
\r\nFourth completed solo release for the guitarist of Rob Zombie, John Lowery (here it is presented to us as John 5) and the new album that is called Requiem released on behalf of Mascot Records. Those who had already followed the particular gentleman from his first album, will know what they will listen about Those who however have no idea for the existence of John, you must not be cheated by the misleading artwork. We do not have to do with an Industrial freak!
\r\nWhat is this guys? Possessed Super Mario ? HORSE The Band is a very special case. Their music is based on Hardcore/Metalcore sound but the things are not so simple. They may use all classic elements of this music but they also use something exclusively of their own, which is no other than the keyboards that resemble to have been taken from a video game of the `80s. Is not accidental the fact that many have given the band the characterization of Nintendo - Core.
\r\nΚαι Progressive\r\nκαι Instrumental?\r\nΓια κάποιους είναι εφιάλτης. Για άλλους είναι απÏŒλαυση.
