Še
vedno sem malce jezen, da sem moral za tale MCD, ki vsebuje 3 komade,
vsega skupaj 9:47 min glasbe, odšteti 1600 sit. Na disku je sicer
priložen še vidospot, ampak to mi ni ravno v tolažbo. Stvar je vredna
700 sit in kar je več je preveč! Ok, res, da sem si sam kriv če
zapravljam denar, brez da bi pred tem dobro premislil, ampak po
odličnem nastopu, ki so ga fantje pokazali v Ajdovšcini, sem bil
prisiljen nabaviti si nekaj za domačo rabo. Njihov starejši material
mi ni bil nikoli preveč všeč, tako da sem se kar odločil za njihovo
zadnjo izdajo. Če preidem na komade, ki jih najdemo tu notri me
zopet zazebe, ko pomislim na ceno. Stvar je taka, da je tu le ''Still
walking with the fire'' njihov novejši komad, medtem ko je ''A light
in the dark'' Outspoken priredba, ''Morning dew'' pa preurejen komad
iz njihovega prvega demo-ta iz leta 97. K sreči so vsi trije komadi
dobri! Fantje so glasbeno dozoreli (čeprav je bil njihov kitarist
že od samega začetka mojster) in so si ustvarili nekakšno svojo
različico metalcora, ki se močno, močno naslanja na melodičen death
metal. ''Still walking with the fire'' zveni kot počasnejša verzija
enega izmen bolj rokersko zvenečih At the Gates komadov, narejen
po hardcore principu. Prisotna je solacija, zanimivo poigravanje
s kitaro, e-chord žagancija in vse skupaj zveni kar dobro, dokler
ne pride do predelov kjer nastopi refren, ki je za moj okus preveč
melodičen in dolgočasen. Glede besedila mi ni povsem jasno ali gre
za religiozno besedilo ali pa je bolj ''True till death'' sorte?
Outspoken priredba je še najbolj temačen in najmanj melodičen komad
tukaj. Uredu stvar! Nažalost nisem nikoli slišal originala, ampak
mislim, da so se fantje dobro odrezali. ''Morning dew'' je moj najljubši,
č eprav druga dva ne zaostajata daleč. Blazno vseč so mi prehodi
s clean kitaro, zlasti zaključek komada, kjer se ji pridruži super
bonanje in izpade skupaj zares odlično. Super mi je tudi poetično
besedilo, nad katerim sem precej očaran in dokazuje, da ima Daniel
(kitarist) tudi žilico za pisanje besedil: ''...and I saw the rainbow
just within my reach, I took some colours of beauty, they were my
weapon, against the gray of stones, and than I flew just like a
bird...'' Vokal je v vseh komadih peklensko kričeč in veliko pripomore,
da glasba deluje še bolj metalsko, kot v resnici je. Priložen video
komada ''Still walking with the fire'' ni nič posebnega...črnobela
tehnika, mešanje insertov igranja v živo in iz sobe, itd...meni
deluje precej smešno, zlasti njihov basist, ki vedno zre v kamero,
kot kak amater iz bednega filma. Cd pride v tenki škatlici in nosi
na ovitku razpadajočo žensko s krili, ki izgleda, kot da bi bila
vzeta iz kakšnega stripa. Ni slabo, čeprav sem bil že davno sit
angelskih podob. Komadom malo primankuje energičnosti (verjetno
zaradi produkcije) ampak tale Poljski vegan sxe bend piše dober
material in sem prepričan, da bo njihova naslednja izdaja album
o katerem se bo veliko govorilo!

Version:
I'm still a bit angry I had to pay 7 euros for a three songs long
MCD, all in all 9:49 min of music. Ups, there's also cd-rom portion
with a video tracked on ''Still walking with the fire'', but that
doesn't really cheer things up. They should sell it for 4 erous
maximum cause charging more is a fucking rip off! Ok, it was my
own fault I hadn't thought well before I bought it but after their
great appearance in my hometown I was kind of forced buying something
for home listening and since I don't like their older material I
didn't have much choice than picking this one. Skipping to the songs
I come across another bad point about this mini. One would expect
this will provide him Sunrise's latest material but sadly it's just
''Still walking with the fire'', while ''A light in the dark'' is
a Outspoken coversong and ''Morning dew'' rearranged demo song from
1997. Fortuantely all three songs a great! They definitely grown
in all aspects and succeeded on making their own sound of metalcore
strongly influenced by melodic death metal. ''Still walking with
fire'' sounds like a slower version of one of the more rock-ish
At the Gates song done with hardcore feel. There's lush guitar playing
with a solo, melodies, some e-chords and everything feels great
until the chorus appears...it's just too melodic and cheesy for
my taste. Lyric content might be religious or it's more into ''true
till death'' direction...I can't say. Outspoken cover is the most
obscure and less melodic song herein. I never heard original version
of the song but I think Sunrise did a great job. ''Morning dew''
is my favourite thought other two are not far behind. I love the
passage with clean guitar, especially ending up part where has a
company of great drumming beats. I also like the poetic lyric which
shows this guys already have a sense of lyrics writing from their
first begining... ''...and I saw the rainbow just within my reach,
I took some colours of beauty, they were my weapon, against the
gray of stones, and than I flew just like a bird...''. Vocal is
hellish screaming and gives to the band even more metal feel they
actually have. The video is nothing too exciting...black'n'white
technique, live/room footage combination, etc. ...works really amusing
for me, especially their bass player staring constantly into the
camera like some amateur from a bad movie. CD comes in a slim jawel
case with a layout that carry decayed female angel looking like
it was taken from some comic book. Not bad, though I'm really getting
sick of angel imagery on record covers! There's a slight lack of
energy in the songs (probably because of the production) but this
Polish vegan sxe band knows how to write a good song and I'm sure
their next release (hopefully a full-length) will blow everything
away!
