Coma Star is a young American
alternative act that formed in Los Angeles in the year 2000. The three band
members are however originally from Switzerland and Germany but met in LA to
form this musical entity. Their debut album "Headroom Of Conscience" reveals
a band who have embraced the new emotional neo-metal sound with heavy driving
rhythms, a few aggressive riffs now and then and an atmosphere with equal
amounts of anger and melancholy. The drummer Christian Werr once described
their sound as "U2 on Jack Daniels. It's angry, but melodic, and very, very
personal." He probably has a point there but the only problem is that U2 is
one of the most overrated bands ever in my opinion. I like the strong melodic
content of this album and the vocals sound pretty nice sometimes but most of
the time they are unfortunately not that impressive. Good for background music
at a low volume when you go to sleep but other than that I can't seem to find
any use for this disc. Coma Star is not a bad band, it's just their music
that is a little bit too boring and soothing for my taste. Stand-out tracks:
"Suicide Man". Only for big fans of alternative and heavy
rock.
