Mora se priznati da Alcest mastermind Neige od 1999.kada je ovaj bend počeo s radom isporučuje prekrasne albume. Od black metal početaka, Alcest je prošao dugi put transformacije u ovo što sviraju danas. Ovaj novi opus sadrži 7 pjesama, u Alcest stilu malo podužih i epskih, a da nisu niti sekunde dosadne, već te slušajući odvedu u neki drugi svijet, drugu dimenziju, mračnu, a istovremeno prelijepu. Ovo je post black metal, sa doom, post rock i shoegaze utjecajima, Neigeov glas u kombinaciji s gitarama i synthevima, te pianom donosi predivne melodije koje te tjeraju da zatvoriš oči i uđeš u neku drugu dimenziju. Tekstovi pjesama su na francuskom, no to daje dodatnu draž i nekakvu melankoličnost i melodičnost svemu skupa. Vokal je uglavnom čist i melodičan, s povremenim izletima u black metal glas, pogotovo u odličnoj L’Envol, koja je jedan od mojih favorita na ovom opusu. Ima i malo bržih bubanjskih i agresivnijih dionica, kao što se može čuti na Komorebi koja otvara opus. Tu je i kratak, ali sladak instrumental Reminiscence, koji služi kao svojevrstan intermezzo. Moj najveći favorit na ovom opusu je odlična L’Enfant de la lune, ali sve stvari su odlične, ako volite ovakvu vrstu muzike, obavezno čekirajte ovaj album.

Shoegaze/Prog Rock Artist Yasu release new album “Spacetime Machine”
Japanese-Brazilian trans artist Yasu releases her debut album, “Spacetime Machine”, a progressive rock opera about emotions, going through depression, happiness, prejudice and a journey of self-discovery.
The album began to be composed in 2016 and recorded in 2018, but was only finished at the end of 2023. It goes through different phases of the singer’s life, from the moment she decided to pursue her dreams and become a composer, until she discovered herself as a transsexual, and having faced long years of depression, all told through metaphors in a space rock album.
The album is heavily inspired by more accessible prog artists, such as Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Supertramp, Electric Light Orchestra, Marillion and Supertramp, as well as classics such as King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Triumvirat, Van Der Graaf Generator, The Moody Blues and others.

VÆGTLØS (post-metal/HC/blackgaze) released second song from new album “Aftryk”
| After playing their first show in June 2022 things started to take off for Vægtløs. After their first show they were asked to play support for shoegaze legends Nothing. And then all has started to spread by interviews and features from different magazines around the world. In 2022 they released split with Mill & Taagebue and 7″ EP titled “Kakofoni“. After almost 2 years, Vægtløs is back with brand new record titled “Aftryk“.Music was recorded by Vægtløs & Rasmus Glassau Clausen. All was mixed and mastered by Jacob Bredahl (HateSphere, Horned Almighty). Cover artwork was done by Jon Gotlev (Møl). Band comments: “The record is a melodic and vast sound that is forged to enclose the personal Danish lyrics about people close to the band who died or suffered deadly diseases. The inspiration to do so has been found in watching and expericering the unadulterated beauty of life and death. Originally each song was named after the person that band sang about, but that was changed to more fitting titles” Album “Aftryk” will be released February 2, 2024 digitally, on tape, CD and 12″ vinyl by over 40 worldwide labels (list of the labels under 1st single video). Pre-order is available at Bandcamp. |
