My Kingdom
Music brings us another new band that is full of talent and introducing
themselves with a top quality strong first debut. Formed officially in
1999 by Marco Soellner and Paolo respectively on guitar/vocals and drums.
Later on joined by guitar player Alessandro Pace and bassist Davide Pesola.
"Undressed
Momento"
was recorded under the supervision of Giuseppe Orlando and Massimiliano
Pagliuso, both members of the famous Italian doom act Novembre. The
musicians also contributed with orchestrations
and vocal parts.
What begins strangely with some sort of old song being shut down by what I
gather being a woman who then lights
a cigarette, finished by the most aggressive and progressive number on the
album and it is by the way one of the best song with its great sounding
dramatic symphonic keyboard parts. These are the extremes of
"Undressed
Momento".
What's
in between is actually milder and even catchier to a certain degree. I
would call their music gothic with a clean and enjoyable male vocals.
Nothing harsh or female diva but just plain good clean vocals on this
disc. Mid pace rhythm, punching bass and drums, clean lead, good riffs and
an overall good sound and excellent production make this first effort even
more pleasant to listen to. Discreet keyboards here and there for an
additional emotional touch. "We
don't
need
no
music"
contains varied language such as French spoken words, begins in Italian to
continue for most part in English. Good and different. The compositions
are basically simple and melodic but without
being boring or too
technical at the same time. They don't
reinvent anything musically but that is most likely not what the band was
going for.
