Dramatis – A Torment of Angels
Release Date: Out Now
Dramatis is the new musical vehicle of Rrussell Bell and
Christopher Payne and this release is a wave of synthy 80s gloriousness. ‘A
Torment of Angels’ mixes the electronic orchestral manoeuvres of Jean Michel
Jarre before moving in to a darker, more dramatic space that is somewhere
between Simple Minds, Sisters of Mercy and the Lost Boys soundtrack (sans
saxophone solo). The thundering drums are an absolute delight, the doomy vocals
almost negate the need for a bassline and the gothic inspired lyrics of “Nothing
can tear you apart like a torment of angels, nothing can rip out your heart
like the torment of love” are like wallowing around in the blackest of treacle during
a thunderstorm. At night. If you’re after something to match the darkening
skies hanging over the world at the moment then this might just be your
soundtrack.
