Unleashing their debut album 'Wormz' on April 15th via Famined Records, Montreal, QC's DEATH LULLABY is proud to announce show dates in Quebec City, Montreal (CD Release Party at Foufounes Electriques) plus two dates in July supporting Silverstein in Keswick, NB.
Może to zabrzmieć niewiarygodnie dla osób wychowanych we współczesnych realiach muzycznych, w których wydanie debiutu przez młody zespół w rok od powstania nie jest czymś niecodziennym, ale ta szwajcarska horda czekała...17 lat na wydanie swojego pierwszego albumu. Został on poprzedzony trzema demami z 2003, 2004 i 2005 roku a sam zespół powstał już w 1999, co tłumaczy muzyczną zawartość tego krążka, który bez wątpienia może przypaść do gustu black metalowym purystom i wyznawcom drugiej fali black metalu z lat 90.
Główne danie to 9 utworów utrzymanych w klimacie surowego, pierwotnego black metalu o skandynawskich korzeniach. Skrzeczący, chrapliwy wokal, brzęczące melodyjne gitary, partie perkusji, które trudno określić wirtuozerskimi. Dużo szybkich momentów i blastów, chociaż zdarzają się wolniejsze fragmenty z akustycznymi wstawkami. Klawisze ograniczone są do minimum i największy udział mają w quasi-symfonicznych intro i outro. Później usłyszmy je już sporadycznie. Płyta jest szybka praktycznie od samego początku i dopiero w szóstym w kolejności, tytułowym "Total Death Celebration" usłyszmy wyraźne zwolnienia tempa w postaci walcowatych riffów w zwrotkach, które i tak ostatecznie przechodzą w hiperszybkie partie w bridgach i refrenach. W tym utworze pojawia się też dłuższy klimatyczny fragment z akustykami, wiatrem, deszczem i diabelskim śmiechem w tle. Teksty na płycie są otwarcie satanistyczne i antychrześcijańskie, czy może raczej antyreligijne.
Album jest długi, ma 65 minut a wynika to z czasu trwania poszczególnych kompozycji. Na płycie znajdziemy łącznie 11 utworów, z których najdłuższy ma 11 minut a tylko jeden trwa krócej niż 5 minut. Co ważne, nie miałem momentów, kiedy patrzyłem na licznik, sprawdzając, ile czasu mi zostało do końca. I właśnie to mi się podoba w tej płycie, że pomimo pozornej jednostajności i prostoty, w rzeczywistości muzyka nie tylko nie nuży, ale co więcej, wciąga i na swój sposób intryguje.
Opening Ceremony on Friday June 11 at 6pm. Gallery exhibition open June 12 to June 19 from 11am to 8pm. Except Sunday June 19, gallery closes at 5pm.
