Free Music Notes for Prominence & Demise
Free Music Review: I love all of Winds' cd's, but this is their best yet.
Hit: 5 Stars
This band consists of members of many highly successful metal acts, perhaps most of all Hellhammer, one of the best known underground drummers of all-time. The band itself is a highly skilled and genuinelly unique combination of classical, progressive, and metal styles. Violin's, Cello's, Piano, Guitar, Drums, and Bass(among others) are all present and recieve equal playtime in something truelly magical in the world of metal.
Their previous albums were much less metal oriented than this album is. There is much more guitar/drum syncopation, guitar solo's, and metal rhythmes, but that is not to say that there is any less string work on the record. This is what bands like Therion have done, but I think this band actually does it better. Winds' approach is very different from someone like Therion though, so I don't want to be misleading. Where Therion relies heavily upon operatic vocals and more classical instruments on their albums than the metal aspects, Winds does the opposite. There are clean vocals, but they are a more freeform and like something you might hear in gothic metal(male sung gothic metal like Moonspell or Sentenced), not power metal. His voice is unique and he does a wonderful job of keeping the band legitimatly singular in their craft. But the music overall is, as I stated a few times already, more metal oriented and almost every song on their records includes simple but amazing guitar riffs/solos and drumbeats. It is worth nothing(again) that the drummer of Winds is none other than Hellhammer, one of the best and under-appreciated drummers in the scene. Whereas he has been known for his speed and insane dexterity/agility previously, he brings to Winds a melodic and creative sensibility that diversifies him from most underground metal drummers. Think Hoglan from Death's "Symbolic". His beats are always varied and he loves to add splashs, fills, and a vast array of double-bass syncopations to match what is going on with the guitarwork. None of his work impresses me as much as his work with Winds, especially on this particular cd.
This cd is for fans of all kinds of melodic metal, classical music, and progressive metal. Fans of any of these genre's will find something to appreciatte herein.
