Free Music Review: The Antithesis of Saviour Machine I
Hit: 5 Stars
If you're not familiar with Saviour Machine they play a highly artistic style of gothic rock headed by a singer that sounds like an ultra-melodramatic David Bowie. They mix together a combination of musical styles, including goth, metal, prog, classical, middle eastern, opera and film soundtrack. They're dark, yes, but at the same time inspiring and spiritual; they're also poetic, passionate, intelligent, artsy and enigmatic, as an Amazon reviewer accurately described them. Another reviewer properly described singer Eric Clayton, as "larger-than-life." In other words, whether you like Eric's vocal style or not, you gotta admit that he powerfully puts every fiber of his being into his work.
Whereas Saviour Machine's self-titled debut was incredibly manic in nature, Saviour Macine II is decidedly more laid-back and haunting. One could even say that II is the express opposite of I even while remaining the same style of music. For this reason Saviour Machine I and II wonderfully compliment each other. Both are essential if you want the complete Saviour Machine experience.
This is the type of music where you just press 'play' and enjoy, so citing favorites is a bit unnecessary. But if I was backed up against a wall I'd list "The Gates," "Enter the Idol," "The Hunger Circle" and "American Babylon" as favorites ("The Gates" is really just a 30-second intro to "Enter the Idol").
I didn't listen to this CD until I first digested the debut offering. Because of this I was a bit perplexed and put-off by how different it was. I slowly became enlightened to its own unique beauty and genius, however. I now savor Saviour Machine II with just as much appreciation as I (pun intended).
My favorite Saviour Machine recording is still the brilliant Legend III:I (actually, I put I, II and Legend III:I on about the SAME plane, with Legend III:I slightly edging out the other two). If you don't have Legend III:I sell everything you have and obtain it! Although you'll hear an occasional power chord on I and II, Legend III:I overtly features crunchy riffs on a fairly frequent basis.
Now, could someone please tell me when Legend III:II is going to be released? (You just KNOW it's going to be magnificent!) How LONG do we have to wait?!
