Klimt
1918 come from
Italy and they play emotional music. It is a mellow album that features
desolate atmospheres enshrouded by vibrant guitars full of melancholia.
Influences from Anathema, Katatonia and The Cure are highly noticeable and
that is something the band needs
to work on, although it doesn't sound bad, cause they play well and they
are convincing. The orchestrations were made by Massimiliano Pagliuso of
Novembre, while Giuseppe Orlando (also from Novembre) participates in one
song. The songs are always electric but not heavy enough and they are
mostly driven by the rhythm section and some avandgarde sounds. I was very
much touched by some songs, but I didn't like some others, so I guess they
achieve their goal half way. "We
don't
need
no
music"
is the best song of the album, depressing, full of emotions, it really
touches your inner soul. The singer follows the mood of the music. His
voice is calm, melancholic, yet he never refers to whining or other
show-offs to show that he is sad.
A very decent album by
this Italian band.
