WOW!!!! This one is intriguing and no wonder...
Massimiliano Pagliuso and Giuseppe Orlando from Novembre are major
contributions (keyboards & backing vocals)!! Recorded, mixed and
mastered at Outer Sound Studios, Klimt
1918 have created a near-perfect Post-Modern/Alternative Metal
version of The Cure. Do not let the intro throw your mind for a loop
(just laugh, I did)... I was a bit skeptical when I first heard it,
which is in fact the only flaw I heard in it's entirety, but the rest
more than makes up for it. The guitar harmonies are angelic with an
almost 80's-pop feel, but the heavy parts are very modern and progressive.
The percussive section is equally as impressive... not just typical
fall-in-sync kick n' snare with single chord bass-taps - actually
sounds a bit jazzy in essence, with some double kicks here and there.
Klimt 1918s' debut album, Undressed Momento, is so dreamlike &
mesmerizing that fans of bands like Anathema, Novembre, Opeth, Duran
Duran, and The Cure will fall in love with this gem! I can't get this
thing out of my CD-player!!!! Favorite track: 7 Naif Watercolour
