HAMASAARI

'Different Time' intro ethereal, spatial like KLONE's; air PORCUPINE TREE, made of raw rock, flights with dark choirs and ambient riff; a heavy stormy finale à la RIVERSIDE, too short. 'Crumbs' progressive climb featuring a BLACK SABBATH riff on abrasive melancholy; the plaintive, religious song, mixes with the keyboard before the fury of the riff makes you want to headbang on a dreamlike metallic fusion; end to the melting OCEANSIZE that isolates you like the story of man out of step with his world. 'Lords' crystalline acoustic in enjoyable prog, the one where you don't know where the title will go; lament with Jordan which distils sweet notes; 'Stagnation' by GENESIS, space tunes to PINK FLOYD before the rise and its backing vocals reminiscent of ALICE IN CHAINS; enlightened floydian break where melancholy becomes beautiful, the atmosphere is felted with the solemn keyboard to 'Burning Rope', guitar which closes. 'Bleak' composition planing, anesthetic; long unfolding in suspended time, well-marked post- rock; the second part explodes suddenly with its heavy, monolithic and heavy on MY DYING BRIDE, breaking with a didgeridoo for the dreamlike decrescendo. 'White Pinnacles' extreme thick rock changing the repertoire, floydian, Elie in fuerie with his drums; growl choirs chat on OPETH all at once; the final explosive, war field on a landmine slurry. 'Old memories' conventional folk pop tune, flirting with those of Steve WILSON; each instrument gives more depth to the acoustic guitar; finale with ethereal keyboard and guitar. 'Prognosis' arpeggio and muffled voices of atmospheric limbo, reverberation notes, background of OCEANSIZE which I really like; lament on emotion where the voice becomes an instrument.

HAMASAARI therefore releases an OMNI based on soft and powerful sounds, sinister, cold and imaginative atmospheres; an oxymoron album mixing his referent groups, to relax; an album that shows the know-how of the musicians, which takes us on varied and explosive progressive tracks, on atmospheric prog which delivers its violence like lightning escaping from the storm. Thank you Jordan and Jonathan, Sullivane, Albertini and Elie. (4.5 then 5 for help at this new music).
