L’Ira del Baccano- Si non Sedes IS- Live MMVII (Subsound Records SSR059CD)


L’ira del Baccano are an Italian progish band that I like quite a lot. This is an archive release of a concert by the band from 2007, back when the band was called Loosin o Frequencies. These were the first instrumental gigs. The band was quite a bit more heavy back then but the roots of where the would head can be found. Doomdance (hear the track below) starts things off with some pretty heavy stuff but also some nice spacey synths mixed in as well.  Susuni di hascita Celeste starts more slowly and spacey and about 4mins in goes into a more stoner rock directions. Not a lot of guitar solos happening, most riff rock but lots of different feelings to the music. Later there is a synths solo though! 875 is nearly 12mins long and a more melodic rock track to start but it slowly gains strength and builds up. IT gets quite trippy as they go into a freaky part and then it gets quite heavy. The kick drum mix is way too much on this song at times and really annoyed me. Overall, the drums can be a bit too much in the slow parts. Don Bastinao is the shortest track at under 8mins and also a bit different, more like classic rock. They borrow a riff from someone but I could not place it.
Tempus is an 18 min journey with some Black Label Society riffs and grooves at times but mixing in some synths here and there as well. A lot happens in the course of this final track on the CD.

There is an extra 18mins (which would have fit on the CD) on the download site and on the vinyl record. 2 tracks one is a live jam and the other a track from a split digital EP from 2010.
This is a great document into the early days of this band. I think you will like it if you are already a fan of the band.
