You
take
1. the vocalist from Darkseed who essentially sounds a lot like Peavey
from Rage and, well, the guy from Darkseed
2. German goth metal sounds en masse
3. A
heavy dose of flutes
and percussion
3. A
heavy dose of
synthesized ethno sounds
4. Two female singers who have the voices of ethereal goddesses.
The
result? An altogether good and captivating one.
‘Pulse’
is one of those albums you can just lean back to and take in because it
has the near-ambient elements as well as the thrash aggression with its
own groove. I cannot sufficiently emphasise the beauty of the parts with
female vocals and the calm of these – it should be heard!
The
metal parts offer little new, but since the sampled ambience of the
other parts are always there in the background, the blend remains quite
unique. Sometimes you feel that you’re watching the Discovery channel
whilst listening to German metal. Get the point?
The
CD also contains a simple but interesting multi media section with
musings over music and metal as well as the beautiful video for the
title track.
Close
your eyes, lean back and enjoy.
