Zgoščenka
se odpre z introm, katerega sem že slišal na eni izmed Caliban plat
(in verjetno še kje drugje) in kmalu zatem izbruhne udaren metalcore
z opaznimi vplivi švedske melodic-deathmetal scene. Kakega švedskega
benda, ki jim bi bil močno podoben sicer ne najdem, lahko pa povem,
da so Falling Cycle nekakšna zmes Darket Hour, Unearth, End This
Day in 18 Visions, le da so v svoje komade vnesli še malce več melodičnosti
kot ravnokar omenjeni bendi. Vsekakor pričakujete lahko neprestano
usipanje melodij, zares hude mosh brejke, dobro mešanje hitrega
tempa s počasnim, kričeč skorajda kruleč vokal, itd. Ubistvu nič
takega kar nebi že prej slišal, ampak komadi so dobro narejeni.
Nekateri so presenetljivo melodični, drugi agresivni, eden je celo
zaigran s klavirjem in govorjenjem vokalsita, tako da stvar v svojih
30 min ne postane enolična. Besedila so osebna in se v večji meri
dotikajo danes aktualne teme za njihov still glasbe, kot so zlomljena
srca in z njimi obžalovanje, itd. Spet nič takega kar nebi že prej
slišal. Izgled ovitka mi je vseč, zlasti popačeno zatemljena slika
narave na prednji strani in pa malce opackani teksti znotraj. O
Falling Cycle razen tega, da prihajajo iz zda ne vem dosti, ampak
če je ''The conflict'' njihov prvenec potem so vsekakor dobro začeli.
English
Version:
CD opens with an intro I already heard on one of the Caliban records
(and probably somewhere else) and right after they hit with striking
metalcore obviously influenced by swedish melodic-deathmetal scene.
Funny, I can't find a singel swedish band I could match them with,
but I can say their music is some sort of mixture of Darkest Hour,
Unearth, End This Day and 18 Visions, with an exception that they
put in much more melodiousness than all afore mentioned bands. Anyway,
expect constant strewing of nice melodies, really heavy mosh breaks,
good exchange of fast and slower tempos, screaming almost growling
vocalist and so on. Actually noting I haven't heard before but the
songs are well done and that counts. Sometimes they are surprisingly
melodic, next time really agressive and there's even a song done
just with piano and spoken words so they have a sense of variety
making these 30 min of a good listening. Lyrics are personal and
most of them cover common topics of today's metalcore scene like
broken hearts, regret, etc. Again noting new! Layout is pretty cool
with distorted and dimmish landscape on the frontcover and stained
lyrics inside. Well, I don't know much about Falling Cycle except
they're from the states, but if ''The Coflict'' is their debut album
than this's a great start!
