A praiseworthy demo CD comes from the smart
hands of Hardebaran's management, who recruited a new Swiss 6-piece
of Dark metal enriched with Black, Heavy and Death influences fairly
balanced in their long 6 tracks. It's almost incredible how a band without
a deal (but not for too long, trust me!) with just another demo-CD out,
"Into A Reign of Pain", dated 2001, may have created
such a professionist CD, as for artwork, sounds (bar the snare drum
one, weak in the fast parts), and - most of all - songwriting. The variety
of the songs is plain and the dynamic structures add value to Fabrice's
raspy or sad vocals; moreover the help given to the cause from the session
members Florian Alter (Violin) and Carolyn Clerc (female voice on "Who'll
Save Us", including nice keyboards lines) is not marginal at
all. Finally, it's true that the contribution of the 2 guitars could
even be exploited more, but we can already enjoy the fruits of a very
compact band. In the meantime I suggest we pass our time while waiting
for their debut from a label by finding out the manifold aspects set
in their sound, and neclecting the small ingenuities that there still
are here and there. | ||||||
