HONEST MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS, FROM LISTENER TO LISTENERS
THE RODEO IDIOT ENGINE – MALAISE
THE RODEO IDIOT ENGINE, CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN EXTREME METAL GENRES, POST-METAL AND SCREAMO/EMO.
GAMBLING APPROACH? YES AND THE RESULT IS MAGNIFICENT.
FAST, INTENSE AND EMOTIONAL, THE ALBUM OPENS BLASTING YOUR EARS WITH FEROCIOUS COMPOSITIONS THAT CAN DRIVE YOU OUT OF BALANCE, THEN IT CHANGES THE MOOD A BIT BECOMING LESS AGGRESSIVE, SLOWER BUT DARKER, DRAGGING THE TEMPO DOWN, A PATTERN THAT REPEATS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
ALBUM.
EASY DIGESTION? I WOULDN’T EXPECT THAT, THE MOOD SWING CAN BE TOO DENSE FOR SOME. ON THE OTHER SIDE THE MELODIES ARE CAPTIVATING AND ALL IT TAKES IS A FEW SPINS TO CLICK, SO IT IS WELL WORTH IT.
IT IS INTERESTING HOW IT RESEMBLES DEAFHEAVEN AND OTHER POST-METAL BANDS, WHEN METAL BANDS ARE MOVING TOWARDS A MORE MELODIC APPROACH, INCORPORATING WHAT MANY CONSIDER TO BE EMO ELEMENTS, TRIE DOES THE INVERSE, ‘BLACKENING’ THE MELODIES AND CHANGING THE GENRE’S CHARACTERISTIC SOUND.
FULL SPECTRUM OF BEAUTY AND GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU CAN INCORPORATE DIFFERENT INFLUENCES TO CREATE SOMETHING UNIQUE.
