There comes
a time in any music journalist span when one comes across a musical
outfit that just raises ones ears to a melodious allure. For such
as is for Italy’s own GOTHIC strike out
with Grim, their latest material to
date that judges the listener to intrigue based on listening fact
this statement is true. Not following any set of musical direction
or view of media opinion GOTHIC expresses originality
and lyrical substance. Songs can be fitting within the realm of
electronica based on the elements that are composed within the
musical sequences that blend dark imagery and poetry.
Techno trance
vibe feel to an eerie take with tracks of Forlorn and
Down In Your Shrine are the hitting ones that strike
listening interest. GOTHIC’s musical style
is more like symbolic poetry with art blended in motion for Grim
contrasts individual thought and creativity. Album production
has the band showing their haunting highlights bringing light
into this darkness so grim. More can be said about this grimly
essence, but myself personally this album raises some serious
musical interest. Downfall about GOTHIC is that
they have remained elusive over ten years. Ok boys now it is time
to stir some commotion and get your name heard!
Highlight:
Video Forlorn captures imagery of art and poetry mixed
with dark tale telling that is felt throughout this video. Good
quality concept.
