Iz Turku-a (Finska) dolazi sastav Simulacrum, nova velika nada nacionalne scene, ako je reč o progressive metal tendencijama. Krenuli su sa radom još u periodu kada su bili u srednjoj školi, ali su stvari ozbiljnije počele da se kotrljaju od pre par godina.
“The Master And The Simulacrum” je aktuelno ostvarenje na kojem se našlo osam numera. Bend je influentan sa jedne strane progressive metal pokretom i grupama iz 90-ih , a sa druge njihov pristup se i te kako oslanja na postulate progressive pravca iz 70-ih godina. Nesumnjivo, reč je o interesantnom miksu i kombinaciji, koja je vidljiva na većem delu priređenog albumskog materijala. Produkcija u potpunosti zadovoljava i ide u korak sa sadašnjim vremenom.
Kvintet iz Finske je uradio sasvim dobar posao, i svojim debijem mogu biti više nego zadovoljni.
Ocena: 8 / 10
Out of Turku, Finland comes a band Simulacrum, a new national hope if we speak about progressive metal tendencies. The beginings of group started out in their highschool days, but more seriously things are turn around a few years ago.
“The Master And The Simulacrum” is actuelle debut, where we can find a 8 seriously done tracks. A group works as a quintet, where keybords threathenings and includings are important part of general performing and authors realizations. In one hand, musically they are faithful to the legacies of 90′s progressive metal movement, but also is evident that influences from the 70′s progressive era, aren’ t strange in its views. This is undoubtly an interesting mixture, and practically most of the present tracks “suffer” of mentioned “infections”. A production satisfie in every manner, and generally band has offered a promising debut.
