Free Music Notes for Slania
Free Music Review: 'Fun' Death Metal
Hit: 4 Stars
First of all, I'm not a death metal fan. I don't find it offensive to my sensibilities or ears and I can treat it as 'white noise' if it's playing, but I generally like clean vocals.
That said, awhile back I picked up "Amon Amarth's" "With Oden on Our Side" and enjoyed it a lot, mainly because I loved the melodic nature of the instruments. So off and on I've been searching for other music of a similar vein. Slania isn't really all that similar, but I like it nevertheless. What IS similar is that the melodies of the music are much more interesting to me than the normal 'thrash/death' style, but the way the melodies are created is different. In Slania, the melodies are driven by the folk instruments (flute particularly) while the guitar work is very straightforward *but still quite good).
I like the variety in the music. A couple of songs are very light on the folk instruments, others use clear vocals, including my favorite song on the CD, "Slania's Song", which features a female counterpoint which works nicely. Oddly, my one main complaint is one of repetition. There's a flute melody which appears to be repeated in many of the songs, particularly near the end of the CD.
Still, this is another example of a Death Metal CD which interests me, even if Death Metal as a genre doesn't do much for me.
