My Review: TORCH - A Familiar Lie

 

TORCH - A Familiar Lie

May you be blessed, Denmark: how you can be so versatile, in all the arts, is truly a mystery, but with this generosity enjoying it becomes a privilege and it would be a shame not to take advantage of it. The trio from Aarhus play hardball, rummage and conquer new proselytes, lower their gaze and find in semi-darkness their favourite ally to flood our babblings with dark and gloomy satisfaction. But where are we? Really in the north of Europe? And if so, are we sure it is music published in our time? The answer is always yes, confirming the fact that we are inattentive and do not follow well the movements of bands that know how to have the same right and ability as many others to honour genres which are still able to stimulate curiosity and the rightful contribution of discomfort.

After the first extraordinary and delirious seconds, where we can already sense that we are in front of something that will grip us, the electronic part, the Darkwave, the most scholastic and effective Synthwave stun us and they do so with the favours of darkness, becoming an angry pagan rite without having to explode in rage. We stocked up on beauty in a few minutes....
