Some bands are doomed to forever roam the musical underground
not because of them being lousy musicians but the reason being that their
music is too weird or complex to ever be embraced by mainstream media. The
Norwegian band Atrox is one of those and their experimental brand of metal has
been labelled as "schizo-metal". This is a term that works for me because
listening to this band is one of the strangest experiences you will ever have
in your life. The music might be described as progressive metal but it is the
female vocals from Monica that make Atrox so special. Ranging from spoken
words through regular clean singing to high-pitched screams she really puts
her mark on every new Atrox album. The thing with a band like this is that you
will probaly either love or hate the music, in this case depending mostly on
whether you like the vocals or not. Atrox have definitely walked their own way
in the world of metal and there are really no other band like them today even
though some elements remind me of some Norwegian gothic metal bands like
Myriads and Madder Mortem. Honestly I don't know what I think about this
album, it never really gets my full attention although it is still nice to
listen to.
