The first time I listened to this album I
wasn't quite impressed, but after a few times I really began to appreciate
the album. And again... it's difficult to catalogue the whole album, the
label describes them like 'post-modern music' but what the fuck is
post-modern music? In my opinion it's a mix of a little gothic, a little
metal and a lot of wave (except for the last track "Stalingrad Theme" that
has a riff that would fit perfectly on a death-album). The influences
diverge from The Cure, Sting/The Police, The Smiths,... to Novembre,
Anathema, Katatonia, Opeth and Fields of the Nephilim (mainly the last
ones). Klimt 1918 was formed by Marco (vocals/guitars) & Paolo (drums)
Soellner in October 1999. They were the only two members left of Another
Day, an Italian act dedicated to progressive Death metal sonorities. In
May 2000 Klimt 1918 recorded "Secession Makes Post-Modern Music", first
demo of the band, featuring other two new entries, Davide Pesola (bass)
and Francesco Tumbarello (guitars), who was replaced in spring 2002 by
Alessandro Pace. My opinion? A must for the fans in this genre.
