Listening
to Project 47 is like a continuously
running Déjà vu. The distinct intro of the opener
Believe In God, singing, voices … speculations,
pondering …
Until I got the idea in mind to check our own achieve, and …
surprise … Me, I and myself has reviewed EXOTHERM’s
last effort Project 47 around a year
ago! So what happened?
Hailing from Lindlar, Germany, these five gents have secured a
deal with German Limited Access Records. Taking this chance their
self-financed album underwent a live-cell treatment in matter
of sound and mastering. Now the debut album is again available
as digipack with a new and great cover artwork and a well-designed
booklet.
Musically speaking the references are still the same and I still
love the music a lot! Cannot get it out of my head …
A short synopsis: earthy Power Metal in the veins of German legends
Rage with two-voices-singing. The clean voice comes from singer
Georg Laudenbach, while axe man Alexander Braikrats adds his raspy
vocals that reminds me a lot of Daniel Brennare (Lake Of Tears).
It is wonderfully mesmerizing … (check out the older review).
The only thing to nag about is the fact that EXOTHERM
has just added one bonus track (a wonderful acoustic version of
Icarus). C’mon guys! After one year you really
could have added the one or the other new songs! For that I reduce
an half point in the B-note! So! But hey, who can satisfy women?
;)
A Must-have! Just great, ass kicking! And now I finally wanna
see them live!
