STRIBORG (Aus)
"Southwest Passage"
DISPLEASED RECORDS
Release Date : 15/10/2009
Imagine, a one man band with 20 releases under its belt. Fronted solely by SIN-NANNA, he seems to has abundance lots of idea.
Whenever an Aussie extreme metal band came to mind, we expected all hell to break loose. But what we have here instead is 6 tracks of ambient black metal. The music is melodic and straighforward. Quite monotonous though ! The interesting part was we can't even understand the need for the band to include the instrumental track "Requiem For A Lonely Ghost" - an outro ?With such kind of arrangement, no wonder the band can suprised us with their long list of discography ...
But, they redeemed back a bit with the raw guitar - notable in tracks like "Southwest Passage" and "All Contempt Reciprocated". While, the production is fair enough to make the materials sounds dark and obscure. We believed this is what the band aimed for.
