| Adaen - Hearts True...Bypassed |
What's that you say? A trio from
Russia influenced by Muse, Mastodon and the Mars Volta? Well this should be
pretty bloody interesting. Adaen kick this short sharp album with 'Intro (Link
Up The Circle)' which, lyrically, is pretty poor (but hell, way better than my
Russian lyrics) but musically is an assault on the senses along the lines of
dive bombing in to ice cold plunge pool. 'Dissaude' wears it's Mars Volta
influences on its sleeve, even swaying in to System Of A Down territory from
time to time which is no bad thing. The relentless, body blow riffs of 'Airship
Graveyard' are worth enduring for the moody, swirling guitars that ape Muse at
their heaviest during a live show. 'Hearts True...Bypassed' contains the
disturbing lyric "No more we ain't virgin, we've been raped in many
ways" but it also features a super-fast bass solo that most metal bands
would sacrifice a goat for. Finishing up with 'Blockade', Adaen channel their
inner speed-metal band to great effect before leaving as abruptly as they
arrived. This is interesting stuff and I love the fact that they don't take
their foot off the accelerator for one second but I'd hope for something a
little more diverse from that impressive list of influences.
