Autumn
Productions is back and strikes again with this #8 real underground
sampler. Various artists inside for various kinds of music. It’s
a good point ! The sound is ok for each track : there is a high
sound quality recording for all of these bands. So, a second good
point ! Maybe you will love it but don’t expect something
new with the metal tracks on this cd if you listen to metal for
many years. A lot of bands did it so well…However, there
are surprises inside with inventive tracks such as “Ca se
passe” from Tacit and “Dawn” from Draema. Also,
6°9 is quickly different from many bands. But it’s far
away from metal music. Other bands play in a agreed way. The whole
is pleasant even if I didn’t feel really attracted by tracks
such as “Be Louder” from Crankset or “Set me
free” from Soul-X. Find all informations about these bands
on the cd-rom track included with the cd.

Back
on the tracks, the train is going on and on. The sky is white
as the skin of the dead, and people are all reading, watching
the landscape which is boring as hell, sleeping, looking at the
other people in the train, as if they wanted to say something
but their mouth were sewn. I am here, too tormented to read, too
lazy and bored to talk, too anxious to remain silent and motionless.
I want to smoke but I can’t, I want to drink but I have
no booze. The train is getting inside a tunnel. It’s been
a very long time since I last heard a black metal album and especially
a good one. And Reverence came to me, with nothing really original,
just a pure ol’ filth, a sort of melting between the dark
and black metal such as Forgotten Tomb or Silencer, but far more
influenced by Darkthrone or Nehemah. The songs are very long,
well constructed, the musicians are all quite good, and the singer
is impressive in the way he underlines the filthy aspect of the
songs, he seems to like my beloved Attila and not the classical
vocals of dark metal and it works pretty well. He is not complaining,
just spreading his message, a message of depression and suicide.
What also struck is the bass. Damn, year ! You can fucking hear
it ! And it’s not just playing the guitar riffs ! I was
beginning to think that Frenchies would never understand what
a bass is. Anyway, the record is far from being perfect thought.
The drummer is not really good, and at the end of the 3rd track
tries very awkwardly to do an offbeat that doesn’t work
at all, then the band doesn’t bring anything new to the
style at all and some of the leads are nearly pathetic. But nonetheless
the band is really efficient and shows that they appropriated
well the conventions of the genre to create an atmosphere.
