Klimt 1918 is a four piece from Italy whose
music sounds like the usual gothic rock with a mix of 80's pop (Depeche Mode,
U2, Duran Duran, ect.). The band presents to the listener with this mix, which
results in a nice melancholic experience.
Marco's vocals are a big part of this as his soft morose voice instantly
capture ones attention. In a way he reminds me Jonas from Katatonia, but with
Marco's vocals you can easily hear his Italian accent, which I think is a good
thing honestly. The music is mostly slowly played rock music with occasional
moments where you could consider it metal. This happens during a few of the
choruses as the guitars pick up in speed and some double bass is used on the
drums. My favorite song on this release is the second song "Pale Song", which is
just a fantastic song! Marco's vocals are very emotional, the guitar work is
great, and it's one of the heavier songs on the album. This is one of those songs
that I wish would never end, because every time I listen to the album I end up
playing this song over and over again.
Taken as a whole this is decent recording that should easily please fans of
the bands and styles mentioned above. The songs tend to get a little boring
towards the end of the album, but in my opinion this album is worth it just to
hear "Pale Song".
