Interesting, entertaining, creative, symphonic. Those are the
words describing pretty well my feelings regarding the Avant-garde bands I've
heard so far. Dismal Euphony replaces the last element with psychedelic. This
being done by the main songwriter Kris Vold with its electronics contribution
besides his drums and guitars duities. Even in the female vocals can you find
similarities with that hippie bands "The Jefferson Airplane" from the
sixties, with its echoing sound effect and clarity. Ok, ask your father if
he's got an old dusty vinyl from them. Another thing that sets them apart
from my favorites Peccatum, Arcturus or Virgin Black is their less refined
sound mostly due to the non present classical instruments and more grinding
electric guitar parts. Am I getting more attention from the heavier metallist?
Good, because you might prefer this type of creativeness. The tittle track
and "Plasma Pool" are surely for people who likes it more in the face and
extreme. I would also recommend "Critical Mass" and "Zentinel" that formed
with "Python Zero" the heaviest trilogy beginning this recording. But
beware because this album is weird though! Even the booklet with its strange
pictures and lyrics such as "Where blood is wine, Pleasures are mine, Freedom
takes me high, Insomnia sails the sigh". My favorite section started with
"Magma", the mistress of my threesome wonder making "Birth Reverse" a cult
follower and "Needle" the spaced out slave of this orgiac mixture of sonic
textures... This segment represents the most inspired Avant-gardiste trio of
the album and stands out as being quite an interesting and entertaining
passage. And how's all of this ending? I'm not gonna tell you! You think
I'm a weirdo? Wait until you hear Python
Zero.
