LOCH
VOSTOK, named
after a subterranean lake in
Antarctica
, rose
out of the collapse of Progressive Metal band Mayadome in 2001 and this
is their second full length album. The first one is called “Dark Logic”
(2004).
After
listening to this album several times I can honestly say that I’m not
about to be a huge fan of
LOCH
VOSTOK. Not that I think
this album is a pure crap album, but even after numerous listens,
nothing really stands out.
To
put it simple… I fail to remember any of the tracks except for a few
riffs. It all comes down to a matter of taste; I know that for sure, but
this album does very little for me. The production is good and they can
out-play me very easily but the songs are not above average in my
opinion.
After
a few tracks I’m beginning to feel a little bored. Remember that you
can play complex stuff but still have to integrate catchy hooks and
choruses, to make people go; WOW… that sounds good!
If
you’re into Progressive Metal with a Melodic Death Metal edge, give
this album a listen… maybe you like it better than me?
