Free Music Notes for Warm Glimpse

Free Music Review: Incredible Debut
Hit: 5 Stars

I confess, i am an Opeth fan, so the immediate similarities made me quite pleased with my random pickup of this disc last December. I dont think i knew though that i was going to come to love this band and be excited for them the same way as i am toward my musical idols. Farmakon has not necessarily breeded a new style of melodic death/jazz influenced metal, they have moreso advanced its evolution towards the forefront of the musical world, with fans like me hoping one day many young and confused people may turn to the chilling and enchanting rhythms and the hellacious Opethian growls to find personal joy. Sure, i am a dreamer, but give not me, rather Farmakon, their moment in the sun.

Track 8 on this disc "Pearl of My Suffering" stands out as an instant gem, easily a canidate for best new song in the year 2003. This song bends the line between death and jazz in ways that can only be touched by the legendary Swedes.

I am eagerly awaiting for the followup to "A Warm Glimpse" to see what evolution Farmakon will offer the metal world. If the evolution is staged as Opeth's was, the next few albums will only continue to amaze fans of the genre.

Finally, to those who call this band "Opeth wannabes" this is merely showing the inspiration on progressive death metal music that Opeth has delivered. And so you dont seem so shocked, Farmakon's singer has a favorite album...Opeth's "Still Life."
