My Album of The Month (April 2012)

Winterhalter

Artist: Les Discrets
Album: Septembre et Ses Dernières Pensées
Year: 2010
This is good, i mean really good; close to my heart. This french band really rocked my soul and pave a perfect entry to shoegazing realm. of course the genre is the subject of dispute, as they can be categorized as post-metal or post-rock as well. But shoegaze define the thing better; with characteristic impact on listener; left me detached, mesmerized and  drown in beautiful tunes. The sound is a mixture of distorted guitar, muffled vocals and throbbing drums.

Jesu : Opiate Sun


Jesu was on my radar for long time ,finally i could find their demo :Opiate sun which was acceptable but not outstanding.
The sense and atmosphere of their music is bleak-melancholic with distorted crunchy guitar riffs and clean vocals;an experimental-rock sound we can call.
Justin Broadrick singing style is pefectly fit for the music.The lyrics are simple but at the same time sophisticated.something comparable to Isis or my favorite band Minsk.
I guess it's soon to make fair judgement about the band ; i'll give a 6/10 score to this post-metal/industrial album.I'm going to give their 2007album Conquerer a try.
