Bifrost - Fehu
(2010, self-released)
The great Opeth must have inspired an entire generation of young musicians in giudicaredalla amazing amount of bands on which recognizes well-engraved on their "brand" of music: dark atmosphere and decadent, sometimes gothic, with slight references attitudiniprogressive settantiani in riffing, short accelerations discuola Death , alternating growling and clean vocals .
E ', however, often difficileriuscire to "detach" from their background to be able to propose qualcosadi new and unique. The Bifrost sonoriusciti us? Yes and no.
certainly interesting to note the proposal, and if nothing else, curious, with regard to the texts differently from Opeth , we find no poesiaoscura, Gothic no metaphor, no text ... The text is psychotic rifannoesclusivamente tradition Viking , telling it matters inerentiAsgard the Fimbul Winter and more. The songs of the ep, five more than an intro (for a total duration of about half an hour), all have the title format dauna word, but musically we do not find nessun'atmosfera ebattagliera epic, but a convincing Prog / Gothic / Death to clear (perhaps too) obvious inspiration Opethiana .
As mentioned earlier, Fehu strumentaledi piano song begins with a very gothic and gloomy, which connects with ASGARD, pezzointeressante and convincing in all its parts. Here, in addition to references Prog / Death of Opeth I've also found associated with the former, beautiful Tristania , and it made me very happy. Subsequently falls HRISTO, angry and psychotic that predicts the best part of the ep, NIDHOGGR: Quile roots Opethiane become sentirein all their majesty, especially about the early seminal Opeth , those of ispiratissimo Orchid and Morningrise . Tuttaviadevo mention that the "slowdown" of the song (starts a1: 46), I found a similarity in instrumental too obvious to InMist She Was Standing Opeth precisely the (for essereprecisi, the instrumental that piece of Opeth begins at 5:33). That was a ride that made us dream all the time, it is true, maforse change it a bit 'and not offer it would be virtually identical unascelta more apt.
Then comes the turn of Fimbulvetr, dark and disturbing in its more than 8 minutes in duration. Finally there is the title track, Fehu, who like all the tracks of the final discs of Opeth is epic, majestic and conclusive, and most would associate with sonorities duredi MyArms, Your Hearse .
Technically, Bifrost are clean and above all there is to recognize, know their stuff. In terms of production, not on ciattestiamo highest levels, but this, In my opinion, the proposal offers interessantispunti, allowing us to "breathe" again atmosferesognanti the early 90's when you do not have available any time and latecnologia of "noise" background gave much charisma to the disks (think of those black-metallers who can not listen to any album super-product ... sonoproprio those loyal to noise recording, and I can understand them!). I was particularly impressed by the singer, in both the suoistili: How is growling facilmenteassociabile Mikael Akerfeldt, and it will not be able to please everyone that Ifans original. While such calls cleanvocals suffered the most sung by Aaron Stainthorpe ( MyDying Bride ), together with some vocals that will remind you of the Anathema finest of their period of transition (reference discs: Eternity and Alternative4 ). The Bifrost
are good, really good. I hope that their musical future is rosy, because c'èsempre need for serious music in a music dittaturadella exhausted by sub-culture of "Friends" and other talent-show. Only, mipiacerebbe in time to see a gradual expulsion of Bifrost by references to Opeth , which in some points are perhaps a bit 'too obvious. In any case, this Fehu contains a lot 'of stuff chepotrà meet the eardrums of fans of the genre.
