Attic Frost - Restless Souls
The Bremen band's album is one of the most eagerly awaited by the old scribe, in this musical year already so full of beauty and validity.
But the title song and its B-side are two cadaverous explosions, with shreds of life dancing the time it takes to draw its last breath. With an ancient ardour, the vehemence of notes that want to extirpate (succeeding) a minimum of serenity, here we find ourselves in a lethal, fascinating space, perfectly in line with the expectations of this band that is a Post-Punk slingshot that teases the Gothic world. There are two tracks: the first (Restless Souls), fast and surgical, tears down and annihilates, through its fiercely pointed drill, with its guitar screeching and killing.
The second, slower (A Pain That We Can Cure), at first sounds like something out of The Cure's Faith, only to be a suffocating sonic dirge within a ferocious drumming and vocals that seem to have been put on acid, in the distance.
There is no doubt that the long-distance work will celebrate all the talents of this mass of angst-ridden artists, and for this very reason longed for by the old scribe...
