Aebsence
are as the album title states, "Unusual". Molding together
influences of Rock, Progressive Metal, Folk, and New Age, it's quite
obvious nothing has been held back by this Hungarian quartet. The
track, "Ultrasound" is a prime example. Formed in 1995,
Aebsence have had plenty of time to evaluate and refine what is a
fresh new metal sound all their own. There are no scratchy-death screams
here, just clean male vocals gracing this extremely traditional-sounding
band. Additionally, there is very little fast-paced guitar picking
and drum kicks, just straight-up groove melodies. I see no recording
flaws here regardless of their self-produced efforts (mainly due to
publishers' aversion towards rock music in Hungary), they seem to
know what they're doing behind the digital console as well. So if
you guys are reading this, keep doing what you're doing!! A professional
work of musical art such as this should achieve some well-deserved
worldwide recognition... Rating: 85 Reviewed By: Thomas Mitchell |
