Vesania: Distractive killusions
20/12/07 || Global Domination
This review was written by ex-staffer/cocksmoker Desolator.
Do you like Dimmu Borgir but wish they were more Burzum influenced? Or maybe a version of Behemoth that has exchanged their blast beats with 80’s disco music? Sorry mate, you won’t find any of the above here. For those of you who appreciate bands that incorporate an awesome massive sound along with wicked orchestra symphonies, and involve skilled musicians, Vesania is your god. I personally wouldn’t go as far as to suck their cocks, but I really dig this album. I’ll have to check out the rest of their music later.
Before I begin this review I am obliged to tell you that this band features members from Behemoth and Vader. It would be even cooler if they hired the boogie man as a guest vocalist, but I guess you can’t have it all. I’ll admit I had my hopes up after seeing the album cover. But regardless of the absence of a boogie man, this album is quite a pleasure to have bursting into my head like a steamroller combined with industrial and orchestral symphonies.
The strategic formulation for this album consists of bombastic assaults mixed with slow atmospheric pleasurable moments that will lull you into a trance. Then it will transmit ghosts into your head to possess you and make you do dirty things you never thought you’d do. A lot of the symphonies that Vesania entwines with their music could be found at a carnival. You know, the place where you go on fun rides while evil clowns force their fingers into your ass.
Considering the cover art theme, I’d be surprised if this music didn’t remind me of a carnival boombox. But fear not, this wasn’t produced by being played from a boombox to a microphone. Oh no. This music is very well produced and avoids being sterile.
Highlights for me are “Silence Makes Noise” and “Hell Is For Children”. The beginning of “Silence Makes Noise” reminds me of an awesome black/death metal industrial rave tune, or maybe I need to lay off the crack. “Hell Is For Children” is a great example of a well composed atmosphere, particularly with the slow and gradual orchestra arrangements. Makes me want to set fire to a small child and eat it.
Anyone who likes Dimmu Borgir’s “Death Cult Armageddon”, Behemoth’s “The Apostasy” or anything that Myrkskog and Belphegor have put out should love this and cradle it like a teddy bear. This is definitely better than “In Sorte Diaboli”, which is the only Dimmu Borgir album I didn’t like very much.
8 burned cubby houses out of 10.
