REVIEWS:
Anachronaeon,
a band with quite difficult and highly original name, is
a two-piece unit from Swedish town of Västerås. As the Last
Human Spot in me Dies is their first official release for
Russian-based Stygian Crypt Productions. This cd, which
consists of 9 tracks, is actually more or less a pimped
up version of band’s demo from 2004. So what can I say about
this release? Firstly, I can say that I was surprised when
I heard the first tunes on the disc, because last thing
I expected from these Swedes was progressive metal. Secondly
because of the fact that usually the production part on
majority of Swedish bands is much better than what is presented
here. It is rather flat and thin and it is a huge shame
in my opinion, because it is obvious that these two guys
can play. There’re a lot of these dark and melancholic melodies
in their music, with a few brutal sections here and there
and also calmer mid-tempo parts. So when you summer things
up a bit; you have everything here that you can possibly
expect from a prog metal band, but on the other side because
of the reasons mentioned above, the score is not higher
than what you see above. It can be highly recommended esp.
for the fans of Nevermore, Amorphis, Sentenced and such
similar acts.
