Picking up from where they left of on their
last album, Aesma
Daeva seems to have added a little heavier approach to their music.
It takes a mix of many elements to create the Aesma Daeva sound. “The
Eros of Frigid Beauty” elements are composed from classical,
gothic and metal genres and the band makes this expression dark and
inventive. It’s almost a battle of a beautiful angelic voice
versus a sinister guitar sound. Their music flows in many different
directions but manages to still sound good; it’s hard to dislike
any song. Basically, it’s a series of opposites working well
together. The only thing negative about this album is that if they
used real drums, it would sound more enriched. While listening to
it a thought popped into my head that this band might have created
a futuristic sound. It seems to be far ahead of its time and might
be a new popular dark genre in the future, like how black metal has
become popular now. All the tracks on this disk have elements that
will interest many people, my favorites are “Devotion,”
“In My Holy Time,” the title track “The Eros of
Frigid Beauty,” and “Lysander II.” These seven songs
and almost fifty-six minutes of music may inspire more bands to experiment
in new directions and help keep music fresh. Rating: 85 |
