For whom still doubted, the Italian scene is unsuspectedly rich, faraway
from being limited to Lacuna Coil or clones of Rhapsody: Klimt 1918 are
the proof of this, proposing a very convincing and pretty original
cocktail in the atmospheric metal sphere. Imagine that Anathema and
Katatonia have composed some songs together with some 80's guiding bands
as The Cure, U2, The Police... and you'll get this brilliant "Undressed
Momento"! The outstanding pitch of the vocalist is the cherry on the pie,
full of shades, and his timbre reminds of... Sting! This doesn't sound
very metal, doesn't it? Yes and no, as for the rest there are some very
metal elements, as the drums and some very distorted guitars, so that we
could almost talk about emo-metal, considered the intimist, touching and
varied temper of this record. By the way, some of best songs are "We don't
need no music", "Undressed Momento"... Even the production is remarkable
and signed by THE Italian producer Giuseppe Orlando (drummer of Novembre,
Outer Sound Studios in Rome). An excellent surprise!!!
