This is most definitely an involved and beautiful record. These Italians dwell in the
realms of modern avant-garde metal along side Anathema, Opeth and the like. "Undressed
Momento" embraces dry and heartfelt vocals which wash over the often bleak and
sparse instrumental backing, but unlike many of their peers, Klimt 1918 are not
afraid to call back to their heritage and include metal sections (full on double
kick drumming and walls of heavily distorted guitars) which only add to the
majesty and depth of the songs. I feel that the piercing and snappy drums could
benefit with being toned down and a warmer and more organic sound would suit the
music better, but this is a minor gripe on my part.
Often this is an intimate listen which requires the listeners full attention
and each listen draws you further into the clever melancholia that is "Undressed
Momento".
Overall, an excellent mix of atmosphere, power and emotion.
