Review of Holger Andrae
You like old disks of FORBIDDEN? You want it knusprig, dragging along and at the same time melodisch? You stand on singers, who separate pointed cries in the correct places? Then must walk you now to the purchase!
Scarce three years I for this projectile waited. The predecessor “zero” ranks still among my favourites from the range of melodischer Thrash with Köpfchen and the appearance on the HOA my enthusiasm for TAUNTED only support could. To that extent I am already somewhat excited as “Bleeding Black” for the first time by my apartment room sweep. And after few seconds of “One Demon RK A time” I already know that the troop from California sets, where it left us hot hungry back: Highly transparent and at the same time enormously dynamic production lets those of reef of Joey Genoni work as an army from strings. One formally pressed to the wall, thus killing enormously and nevertheless not too modern working crash the chords from my boxes. Memories of “The Gathering” of WILL become awake. The air guitar melts with attempt imaginary to keep up here.
The next plus – with the required quality are there actually directly several – is the voice of Jacques Serrano. Very strong, in the correct moments briefly times shrill and in the undertone, with undreamt-of ease one fools swearing to here almost, how a Metalorgan has to sound. Just as.
The three-quarter hour passes each mark as in the flight, because the quartet offers much alternation in its compositions despite permanent defensive fire sufficiently, in order not to fatigue or bore the listener. Thus into “Darkened Eyes” unexpectedly strongly on the accelerotor pedal one steps, without losing the melody thread. Whereby I find personally however somewhat more favour to moderate numbers kept at a moderate temperature. There a nearly uncanny atmosphere is produced. Supported of wuchtiger Rhythmik crawl the guitar melodies such as spiders to the listener the back up and spread a schauriges Kribbeln. Pleasant memories of FORBIDDEN to the “Twisted Into form” - phase become occasionally awake thereby. So for example, if in the magnificent high point of the high points – in particular “The floating Ghost” emerge – also still whispering voices from the off. Better it hardly goes. But, it goes, because the concluding “The Candle Burns Black” exceeds with its hochmelodischen passages and the swearing to Rhythmik the remainder of the album almost still.
I am again completely enthusiastic. TAUNTED offer the up-to-date best mixture from technical Thrash Metal, something speed and Groove on “Bleeding Black”. All of this combined with this insanity voice results in naturally an album, with which one must fall in love as a friend of traditional-modern sounds automatically. Now it remains hoping that TAUNTED will rave again on German stages around. Soon. Ask.
