Bright Curse
is the new band formed from the ashes of the cool French band, Soul Manifest. I
highly recommend you check out their record if you have not heard it. Anyway,
this is a new band and a new sound but lead by the guitar player and vocalist
Romain from Soul Manifest. The opening track is a long instrumental song called
Sonic Wave and is a pretty slow song in stoner doom vein with a nice guitar
section in the middle. The Hermit is a really short track with strange lyrics.
Unknown Mistress has a heavy groove and tells a really cool story in the
lyrics. It is mainly driven by the heavy bass by Sammy Deveille (he has
recently been replaced by JB). IT has a long slow section towards the end,
where I felt more could be going on besides a few guitar sounds before the
vocal returns and the track picks up but no guitar solo or jam or freakout..
Flip it over for What’s beyond the Sun. This is a more moody track with some
long delays on some of the vocal sections that give it a more spacey,
psychedelic track. The end section really kicks in with a heavy doom riff
section before just sort of dying out. The LP ends with a more melodic slow
starting track called Mind traveller. When the main guitar riff kicks in there
is also a spacey effect that joins it at times. Half way through the pace
really picks up with a short guitar solo and a spoken word section before it
comes to an end. I have to say the record was not at all what I expected.. It grows on you, this one..
