Ukraine band QUINTESSENCE MYSTICA has dedicated themselves to all things beyond religion and the old truths. They want to reach beyond from an occult point of view. The man behind this is Master Alafern, with a past in bands like THUNDERKRAFT and TRIGLAN. With him on this adventure is vocalist Dromos Aniliagos. Fact is that there is already an album number two ready for release, this better be good then\u2026<\/p>\n
Musicallt Master Alafern handles the most part. \u201cVector Space of Desires\u201d is a mix of hammering black metal, pretty neat vocals (harder, but not growl), keyboards and hysteric drumming. But the mix actually works better than I thought. At the same time I believe that I need to check the lyrics before deciding if they are as different as they claim. The vocals are getting better all the time plus the keyboards, and the will to vary the pace a lot. The guitar work is well above par, not least in \u201cAspects of Contemplation Projected onto the Eternity\u201d (the longest song title of 2011?). However the eternally smattering and monotonous drums destroys the effect of every atmospheric part etc. The first part of \u201cEntropy of Sanity\u201d is definitely the best dissonant and vocal effectuated interpretation of madness I have ever heard. The feeling of a well-played deranged scientist in a fifties move makes me smile. Another fine effect is created with the sledgehammer like drumming in \u201cMetaphysics of War\u201d, which also benefits from a highly melodic solo. Another track worth mentioning is the stunningly beautiful instrumental \u201cMemorial\u201d, a demonstration of abilities, as a lot of other stunts on this album. QUINTESSENCE MYSTICA feels very theatric and their arrangements are often works of art. This, and the orchestrated parts and very varied vocals gives me the impression of grandeur, like a post-modern THE DOORS. <\/p>\n
