DIRA MORTIS - Psalms of Morbid Existence (2015)

Kraj: Polska
Wydawca: Defense Records
Więcej informacji: http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Dira_Mortis/42286


W muzykę Dira Mortis wsiąkłem praktycznie od wydania EP-ki "Cult of the Dead", czyli od reaktywacji zespołu, z tej proste przyczyny, że forma death metalu, jaką proponuje ta grupa, w 100% trafia w moje gusta, jeśli chodzi o ten gatunek muzyki. Utrzymany w naprzemiennie w średnich i szybkich, ale nie osiągających prędkości nadświetlnych, tempach, z mięsistymi gitarami, miażdżącą sekcją i mocnym, niskim growlem. Kompozycje są relatywnie długie, jak na metal śmierci, gdyż cazas ich trwania zamyka się w przedziale 6 - 11 minut, jednakże ze względu na zmiany akcji czy sola, zarówno bardziej techniczne, jak i melodyjne, wręcz epickie, pojawiające się w wolniejszych momentach, nuda nam nie grozi. Próżno to jednak szukać wirtuozerskich popisów. Jest za to death metal, który niczym czołg miażdży wszystko, co stanie mu na drodze. I to brudne, piwniczne brzmienie. Stara szkoła pełną gębą. Mnie osobiście nic więcej do szczęścia nie potrzeba.

NEWS: RAPHEUMET'S WELL udostępnia utwór "Planetary Cenotaph" via MetalNationRadio / RAPHEUMET'S WELL Streaming New Track 'Planetary Cenotaph' via MetalNationRadio


Pochodzący z Hickory (Kanada) Rapheumet's Well łączy w swojej muzyce klasyczne orkiestracje, kosmiczne klawisze i ekstremalny metal. Tą kombinacją dźwięków, wzbogaconą o mądrości ludowe, zespół stara się przedstawić epickość równoległych światów przy równoczesnym tworzeniu dźwięków, które reprezentują ich jako artystów.

Zespół powstał w 2008 roku a w 2011 i 2012 ukazały się dwa pierwsze dema. W 2014 światło dzienne ujrzał wydany własnym nakładem debiut zatytułowany "Dimensions", który rozwinął historię w sagę o Atai'ach (starożytnych architektach), których celem jest tworzenie życia w wielu wszechświatach.

Od momentu narodzin materii organicznej do wielkiej wojny, która rozrywa konstrukcję kosmosu i czasu, historia Raphuemet's Well zanurza słuchacza w osobliwy świat, który jest przedstawiany na drugim albumie "The Exile", którego premiera zaplanowana jest na 18 marca 2016 nakładem Test Your Metal Records.

W związku z premierą zespół udostępnia swój drugi singiel 'Planetary Cenotaph' na serwisie MetalNationRadio. Utwór można usłyszeć pod tym linkiem:  http://metalnationradio.ca/exclusive-premiere-rapheumets-well-streaming-new-track-planetary-cenotaph-via-metal-nation-radio/ .

"'Planetary Cenotaph' to ostatni utwór na płycie i był dla nas swego rodzaju "wyzwanie", ponieważ musieliśmy skomponować muzykę do historii. Główny bohater właśnie unicestwił planetę. Ze względu na nieśmiertelną "klątwę" unosi się w resztkach swojego ojczystego świata. Podczas gdy jego ciało się odradza, jego umysł ma czas na przemyślenia. Jego żona i dzieci zostały zamordowane, jego imperium zdradziło go, on sam był torturowany i widział wiele okropieństw. Stara się to wszystko wyprzeć z umysłu. Uczucia zawarte w tym utworze, odzwierciedlają nasz stan umysłu podczas komponowania muzyki. Tak się złożyło, że  w ciągu dwóch lat członkowie zespołu stracili czwórkę rodziców i dziadków, wszystkich w odstępach miesiąca. Jest to więc swego rodzaju utwór-hołd utrzymany w kontekście historii. Dla nas  najlepszy sposób, aby uhonorować kogoś bliskiego, to napisać metalowy utwór dla niego!".

English


Blending a sound that is a complex mix of classical orchestrations, cosmic synths, and extreme metal to portray the epics of parallel worlds, Hickory, N.C. based RAPHEUMETS WELL (Ra-few-mets) bring forth a voyage enriched with lore, fabricated from scratch to show the depth in which represents them as artists.
Formed in 2008, 2011 and 2012 saw their first two demos followed by their first self release full length ‘Dimensions’ unleashed in 2014 that progressively told a larger story portrayed in a complex saga of Atai (ancient architects) who aid in the propagation of sentient life throughout the multi-verse.
From the birth of organic matter to great wars that tear the fabric of space/time, the story of RAPHEUMETS WELL's music serves to immerse you into a world of oddities, which is now continued in the band’s sophomore release ‘The Exile’ due out on March 18th, 2016 via Test Your Metal Records.
With their upcoming release, RAPHEUMETS WELL have teamed up with MetalNationRadio for the premiere of their second single 'Planetary Cenotaph', which can be heard at the following link: http://metalnationradio.ca/exclusive-premiere-rapheumets-well-streaming-new-track-planetary-cenotaph-via-metal-nation-radio/ 
Drummer Joshua Ward comments on the single:
"Planetary Cenotaph, being the last song on the album, was a bit "challenging" for us in terms of composition as we write the music to the story.  The main character just destroyed an entire planet.  Due to his immortal  "curse" he is floating in the stellar remnants of his home-world.  While his body is reforming and he is adrift he has a lot of time to think.  His wife wife and kids were murdered, his empire betrayed him, he was tortured, he has seen some very wild stuff.  He is processing the events in a very numb and displaced way.  The emotions of the song actually came from the deaths of family members of the band recently.  In the last two years we lost four parents and a grandparent, all within months of each other.  So, this became a memorial song to them while keeping to the context of the story.  What better way for us to honor someone than to write a metal song!"
