It
has been quite a few years since the last GBS record but worth the weight. The
album features three main tracks between 8 and 15mins, as well as three short
tracks between 1 and 3mins in length. If
you are not familiar with the band, they play instrumental prog rock, with very
intense drumming and playing and a great sense of dynamics. Konstruktion starts
things off with a very King Crimson like track with intensity in all aspects.
The keyboards lead this one from Mellotron to Fender Rhodes piano. Great guitar
solo also. Sersophane starts with a keys but then the pace really picks up and
the drumming really intense as the layers of keyboards step aside for some
intense guitar. Great bass lines compliment the drive as well. A very epic track.
Fort Europa has some really cool lap steel guitar. I really dig this track.
Flip the record over for Dekonstruktion, a 3min synthesizer intro like piece to
the amazing Channeling the Sixth extinction, which is a 15mins masterwork. Lots
of cool dark themes and then light and back and forth. Some killer bass playing
as well. This track is a mind blower. Wow.. Naturum closes the record with a
very short 1min acoustic guitar piece. Awesome record guys.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
