Free Music Notes for Anima
Free Music Review: The True Inner Self of Prog Metal!
Hit: 5 Stars
Anima - an individual's true inner self that reflects archetypical ideals of conduct (Webster).
The first album by Spheric Universe Experience (SUE) was the impressive Mental Torments, show casing intricate rhythms, riffs, solos and soaring/moody vocals. Anima, their new album, even surpasses Mental Torments, rising to prog metal greatness.
First and foremost, these guys are a band - tight, intertwined, convoluted, a sum far greater than the individual parts. Second and critically important, each member is a master of his trade elevating the music to fearful heights (typical metal creates simple molecular sounds while SUE weaves polymers approaching the complexity of DNA).
SUE is not just about complexity. They hit you straight between the eyes with super critical crunch. This is best demonstrated on the opening track, Sceptic, which is hard hitting and features some razor sharp Maiden-like riffs. Inner Quest possesses a mid-section break with heavy riffing insanity. Neptune's Revenge sports a nervous rapid fire guitar solo which to me contains middle-eastern overtones. Neptune's Revenge transitions into some beautiful piano before heading into the instrumental, Stormy Dome, with more atmospheric keyboards and guitar.
So far, I would say that my favorite song is Heal My Pain. Heal My Pain has plenty of signature changes to keep you off guard on the main riff, and soulful guitar, keyboard and bass solos, no less. The Key reminds me in feel to Learning to Live by DT - dark and emotional with stunning vocals. The album concludes with the instrumental Black Materia, bringing DT's The Dance of Eternity to mind.
The production on Anima is first class. These gentlemen from France are here to stay. Check them out.
