Redemption
Home
The great expectations around first full length of the Redempion from part of all the appasionati ones of gothic rock have not been disappointed. "Home" extension endured from the first trace, "these Times like", the relative progresses of the group you to (the auto)produzione and the mixaggio of the sound, revealing the attention low mails from the Redemption R-with regard to the bilaciamento between the real instruments (and guitars) and the electronics of the programming/drum-machine. Different from sound serious of the The Wake resumed lately of the Screams For the Vat, with this album the trio of Salt Lake City various develops its solid influeze gothic rock sisteriane ones in new way of the all for one band American, proposing in key much staff (that is from their connazionali The Drowning Season) the mood of gothic rock English years ' 90 of band which Rosette Stone and Children On Stun. To testimony of said how much, beyond to already cited "these Times like", they are traces which "After burn", the inspired song less of the job with driven beats on riffs to deep the red cross and delight of every goth-rock maniacs, "Your arms" and the optimal one tittle track, upgrade them hit from dancefloor. Wide space, with very three compositions on totals eight of the Cd, is given to discs of a valve under shape of the suadenti "Absolution" and "Pulse", where the cold battery electronic marks the step in favor of warmer instruments like bonghi, slowly and violini, let alone of the conclusive "Doubt and circumstance" that seppur more electrified it maintains the same aura melancholic. Famous particular of merit it goes to "Disillusion", gothic song of great impact structured in growing that ago to coexist the power to the attitude danzereccia and that it will become the song sure symbol of the Redemption. That to still say? With "Home" we can calmly assert that the trio of Salt Lake City is already from hour the point of reference of the gothic rock in the United States.

The Further We Fall
****
It is honest to say, in group with practically 10 by summer period the history several skudnovata. And it appears, if we discard back the charms of literary transfer, approximately then: "trio appeared in 1996, on native land death rock'a, that is to say in the states". In vain it is not mentioned about nekhiloy charisma of group, the same there is. On the appearances probably this oshchushchayetsya most strongly. By the way about the appearances - they re-played practically on largest eventakh in the states with such acknowledged units as: Claire Voyant, Bella Morte, Tragic Black Human Drama, The Azoic, The Cruxshadows, The Deep Eynde, Mors Syphilitica, well I hope that about that, who similar David J told must not be. On the whole, and with it they played a little also. Strictly here and everything. Group nevertheless razrodilas' in 2003 by shestitrekovym relizom, because of which 4 I beat along the keyboard. On the truth speaking, since then no one saw nor heard nothing from them. To reliz fell good and laudatory opinions, but by this everything ended. But the album, reviewed Mikom by Mercer, and was completely lit only in this year. It is similar, fellows simply live into their pleasure and place to increasingly with the instrument. Worthy position for the creative personalities. Possibly, they for long resisted themselves, but on April of this year state- after all their debyutnyy full-format album. I fear to assume that the promise possibly and will not happen, assuming into the calculation the dispositions of musicians. If it does not happen - it's a pity. Material in reality is very worthy. In spite of not entirely satisfactory work on masteringu, 4 after hearing of the disk it is nevertheless rapid of smeknul, in what here the dog is buried and from where praises and applause appear. Somewhat orthodox gothic-rock (although you will look to the same "ortodoksa"- it is bass in the repperskoy cap -xuliganke and sports shirt Converce, and once more you will think. Pravda I will be specified - "repper" with not acid meykom) by order returning British -gotov?no1. Everything as is conducted: drama- machine Bass, on which is constructed entire foundation. However, here among other things is introduced sufficiently much electronics; therefore more correct music of group would be call gothic rock with the bank to side electro-goth. Well and emotional vokal with the excellent for the Gothic music "demonic" timbre of voice, which now and then resembles Garden of Delight. All this together creates the beautiful cool atmosphere of contact with tender and the delicate "killers". Arrangements are also made very competently and it is beautiful with the support to the use of that range of tools, which is characteristic for simfo- of sounding + acoustic guitars. Music in the totality is similar to the hybrid of those mentioned already Garden of Delight and Rosetta Stone in the period of its better time, well and, undoubtedly, in everything there is a good portion of the individuality of musicians themselves. As a result it turns out that the group and by something is similar to those enumerated and, at the same time, no. It will be for sure learned against the background of their other associates (but this, you will agree, now frequently you will not meet). The not simply good album, and the album, assembled from outstanding, diverse Gothic Heath its own production, while not skompilennykh from the different is lump. Cluster of gloomy power engineering, which contains into itself as tragedy, pain, melancholy, solitude. All these emotions entirely are contained in the atmosphere of music of this group, by which it is probable not so it will be complicated to hook any person, who at least is a little attached to the Gothic scene. Present and qualitative Gothics fate. Recently this is rarity.
