Well, it seems that October 2003 is probably the best month
since I started this magazine, two years ago, as for the promos I review! One
great release comes after another and Klimt 1918 are everything but an exception
to this rule: with an impressive debut album the band shouts loud "HERE WE ARE"
and, believe me, they're here to stay! Their music is atmospheric and very
melodic, not very heavy (I'd call this a rock album) and it bears obvious
influences from atmospheric metal (such as late Anathema and Katatonia) and '80s
electro/pop such as The Cure, Depeche Mode and Tears For Fears. The press
release also includes acts such as Opeth and Fields of the Nephilim in the band's
influences but in my opinion these are not so strong, as the band mixes
alternative with atmospheric and pop. What goes for sure is that the Italians
are, in my opinion, a very big hope for the future and have a world-class
quality! The lyrics are mostly in English with only a few exceptions where they
are in Italian. Now, from the album's eight songs there's not even one that I
didn't like and there are two that I loved instantly and still listen to them
many times each day: "Parade Of Adolescence" and "We don't need no
music" (these
two compositions are both potential hits). Anyway, to sum up, Klimt 1918's debut
is one of the best debuts I've ever heard and I'm sure that if they get the
exposure they deserve they can become really big! Need I add that this album is
a must?
