A few days ago I got from a friend a link to a video of Port Helvetets get (Thanks Flonitz) . I knew the band only from the volatile Listen at mySpace , I am busy but not farther. That was on their side offered nice to hear, but I did not like so torn socks off.
completely different this video that fascinated me from the first moment is: is
The song to me through and through and I find it intensely as few things today on what the market will be published. Finding the right words for it is hard for me and before I reach for too pompous vocabulary, I just prefer to leave to each individual, to form an opinion - the video is after all not linked without reason. But
not just the song itself, I think is incredibly intense - and the accompanying video is of a quality that one might have expected from a band of this size hardly. Of course the boys all the 80s cliches drive to the top so that they themselves are probably more 80s are standard on it, as it was the 80s themselves. But I find it not only ok, but worthy of support: What is the eye of a metal heads can stay dry when the guys in spandex and looks Rising Sun-Shirt? I for one love such a thing. And we pay attention to not only the band's appearance while on the small details. Most of the sequences was at a Super 8 camera Date and you can really give the total illusion that this video was not 2009, but a good 25 years earlier. Consider, but only look at the lovingly placed Commodore advertising at 1:19 !
Some like one that can be cold, but I love these things. They make for me from even a significant part of enjoying music and the band has on me with this video such a huge influence that I just can not resist and could have purchased on eBay U.S. is also a Rising Sun-Shirt along with a matching bandana.
you think "Poser"? I think "but I do not care!". And when "Karate Kid" again on TV comes I will look at me the strip with delight in my new shirt!
in my madness and my newly discovered love for the band because of this one song I wanted to spread the good news and I have the link to the video rumgeschickt and the reactions were then to me very surprising. Rarely have I experienced it that a band has so divided the minds! Most Helvetets port by far were not as good as I do, sometimes even really bad. The reasons were manifold: it has too little soul, "" is the most technically inferior "," the stereotypes are completely exaggerated, "the singer can not sing" or "may simply nix" were just some the negatively-affected opinions. Others were delighted. raise
To cut something, I forwarded the song also to people with metal plates and, in particular the start-mediated little could simply look also to me, as it does not arrive in the matter of the staked listeners. Here was the reaction even essentially different: a bad reaction I did not do. Many even said that something is not their thing, but the metal was even acceptable. Many a total surprise for me was kind of shocked the skulls and utensils as well as the German translation of Helvetets port "gate to hell" - I had not really thought that you can surprise with this kind of thing. But is nice, that what Venom abolished decades ago, today it is still possible - although it is probably only the faint-hearted souls affected.
After I honestly the video in a 4-hour continuous loop was run once it was time to risk an ear for music. Thanks a Breiti that I could help.
The first run of the album was extremely disappointing. I had to "Lightning Rod Avenger" can hardly be expected that a song on the album, which is anywhere near as good, but what there was to hear this was an extreme drop in quality. Before all I could now believe, not the singer could sing fully understands. Especially with "Diamond Claw" is so necessary slate song that at first almost hurt. But I would not dismiss it as quickly and simply gave the disc a couple of runs and now my opinion is not nearly so negative. Furthermore, no song here that "Lightning Rod Avenger" can range anywhere near the water, but when you once made friends with the album has, you can have fun with it. The pieces are simple to extremely cranky. Yes, I think this adjective, it applies quite well: In particular, take the pieces presented in Swedish their part in.
The criticism of the technical capacity of the tape I can understand. As it often sounds somewhat stiff and angular, but I do not see this as negative points. No - these are the things that give such a special product just character. And the singer, who can not sing, must be not bad in itself Toto Living Death has proved to my mind it much.
The songs are compositionally certainly no masterpieces, but still have much to offer. The songs that are always at the interface between rock and metal wall, not the first and certainly not at the second hearing, but at the latest on one of the following runs in his ear. And once they arrived here want to stay alive and always be heard.
I for one am now really been a little addicted to the disk. But I had to invest a little time though, but this has really paid off in the end.
Who likes music that is anything but straight and who is on-kissed epic hard rock and metal should risk in any case ear. Who strung on the other hand, brutal and blunt Gekloppe should make this band a huge arc.
