![Kaul - [demo cd] - cover art](/reviews/covers/nocover.gif)
Kaul is a duo
from Los Angeles, California, that was formed a few years ago when Paul Calder
and Kian Ahmadian met while working on Matt Groening's well-known TV series
Futurama. Both these guys have been working on several other film projects,
Paul as and editor and Kian as writer, director and sound designer. You can
easily notice the soundtrack tendencies on this demo cd from these two
multi-talented guys. The songs on this demo also sound very different from one
another with everything from rather aggressive black metal sounds to soft
darkwave and classical influences. They label themselves as a darkwave metal
band and perhaps that is the best way to classify them although their music
defies all attempts of doing this. The cd opens up with a very impressive and
powerful track called "In Cold" which shows the band at their best with
powerful vocals, both clean and growling ones. Even though the rest of the
songs fail to impress me as much as that one they are all enjoyable and works
above all very well as background music which is probably a result of their
movie making backgrounds. I would describe their music as a mix of darkwave,
black metal and gothic rock. As you understand there is always a very dark
atmosphere that surrounds every song. Kaul is an interesting band and they
have managed to achieve something very important in today's world - they
don't sound like every other band.
