but you gotta admit, the herpes virus is very good at what it does, so in a sense it is comparable to us...... I'll shut up now.

LUNARIS
The Infinite
2002/Elitist/Earache
For all the claims that Norways Lunaris make about not being a Super-group, one look at the line up will certainly make you think otherwise. The Lunaris project gained its first foothold around 1998 when Balfori (Vocals) departed 1349 (Satyricons Frosts side project) and teamed up with Azarak (Guitars, Spiral Architect and Satyricon session player). Keyboardist Ray (?) was brought in, and the band recorded two demos (Demos 2000 and Creative Destruction). Just prior to recording The Infinite, drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Spiral Achitect and Borknagar), M (Backing vocals) and bassist/vocalist Maztema (Spiral Architect and Manitou) were brought in to flesh out the sound. As you would expect, Lunaris carry a distinct sound from each members respective pasts, but theres also a new element added to the mix, making The Infinite sound fresh and interesting. Opening number In The Eyes Of The Heretic builds up slowly with some great clean riffing before launching into some melodic death metal territory. The combination of Balforis extreme rasps and Maztemas clean vocals also counteract the expectations you would have about Lunaris.
Arise also follows a Fear Factory introduction, then moves into more Thorns territory, while Of The One is almost a Steve Vai/progressive metal number!
Elsewhere on the album, Mother Of Storms displays an aggressive side, while Growth Denied and Primal Construction allow the band to stretch things out musically.
Lunaris are certainly pushing the envelope in regards to melodic extreme music with stunning riffs and the dual vocalists. The recording of the album is clean, but never sterile. It may well be hard to pin point in which direction the band will eventually move onto next time, but thats what makes this album all the more interesting.

it's really cool the way some reviewers pre-judge the album from the press release, and then make no excuse and even boast about their complete lack of journalistic skills in the review...
half decent review this though
