Brainstorm Listening Session
And the price for the most originally location for a listening sessions goes to:
Metal Blade! Specially for the press-presentation of the new BRAINSTORM "longiron"
"liquid monster" the label rented the "deep tunnel" near Aalen, an old,
inoperative mine, thats just open for tourist sightseeing today and special
events, to give the successor of the very successful "Soul Temptation" a worthly
context. The guessings about the reasions for the choice of this "mine" as the
place of the event started at "there is a quite mighty sound" up to "dont let
the neighbours complain like last time". As soon as the international staff
were complete and everyone had a helmet, they went approx 400 meters into the
hill where a rugged catering awaited the crowd. But before the eating there was
another teaser "liquid monster", the meanwhile sixth full length album of the
Swabian-fiver BRAINSTORM waited in the speakers to teach the journalists ears a
lesson in POWER METAL. Just read yourself if the monster has claws!
Worlds are comin' through
At least it is as heavy as a ton, because the opener comes as a real machine and
planed in its extremely heavy midtempo heavy weight all down, what is in the way.
Less varations and celebrated minimalism make this song a beat of the drum.
Inside the Monster
The titletrack increases the speed and developes in the upper midtempo range to
a "bang-compatible" 'mosher' that will make chiropractors have more work. The monster comes to run
Lifeline
Like to remember the beginning of the album, BRAINSTORM take out the big hammer
and smash all things down with a great uptempo monster.
invisible Enemy
a bit slower, but not less heavy, it comes to business in "invisible enemy".
Meanwhile the chorus the tempo gets a bit less, so you think the monster focuses
its strenght just to get full to work right after it. ''pimped''/''tarted up'' with a cool
guitar solo the song decides the first half of the disc before...
Heavenly
... a ballad builds an island of the silence within a rough sea.
Athmosphererically keys and acustic guitars let this song be an beautiful "ear
candy" that stands in a total contrast to the previous songs and proves the universility
of the band and andys voice once more.
Painside
Enough with the softness! With "painside" maybe the official successor of "The
leading" of the "soul temptation" album stands in the house that comes as a melodic
midtempo song with a extended solo. Up to now probably the most traditional song.
Shades and Shadows
with a drifting doublebass massage the program goes on! This uptempo track
punishes many of the so called "power metal combos" by showing what "power"
really means! After "Heavenly" and "painside" again a harder song.
Even higher
The name is program: the song presents a high tempo and shoots heavily through
the wet cave walls. Like a few songs in the first half of the disc, "even
higher" is one of the harder calibre of the new material
Burns my soul
Probably the last regular song seems to summarize the album, by putting together
different trademarks of the disc: heavy like the opener, with a
athmosperical break like in the slower songs and a fine twin guitar solo,
decides "Burns my soul" an album that really needs the word "Monster" in the
title
Before the dawn
First presented bonustrack (?: premium song) was a cover of the JUDAS PRIEST song "Before the dawn",
that the Band as declared Priest fans performed with glamorous acoustic guitars.
A good choice for a bonustrack because the song stands with the "meekness" in
contrast to the heaviness of the album
Despair to Drown
The second "Too-Much-Song" was the fastest song of the day, and with that my
favourite! Drifting doublebass and hard sound culminate in a melodic chorus, so
that "Despair to drown" could be a regular track on the album as well. An
absolutley highworthly B-Side shall be in outlook.
Sure "Liquid Monster" is no easy to digest hunk, that promises that bodes well
with heaviness and variability, however it requires to bother with the material
like "Soul Temptation". The Band doesnt tell in vain of the best BRAINSTORM
Album, that they recorded up to now. The first impression that "Liquid Monster"
left doesnt let this statement sound improbably! BRAINSTORM has created a very
nice mix of unbelievable brash songs and melodic ear-candys that won´t
disappoint any fan!
After the Press-Staff Could get an impression of the "wet" monster, they went up
to the daylight and then back into the heart of the cave to the presentation of
of the limited editions Bonus DVD (?: premium DVD). Because of the Soul
Temptation Premium DVD showed a complete concert we´ll get a nice insight of the
life on tour, where five sympathic swabians let out a few worldly wisdoms.
After that view into the backstage and a traditional swabian snack ("livercheese
and potato salad") they went on to the favourite pub of the band, where a few
more drinks "floated down the throats" and the day took an end in silence. The
album will be released on the 4th of April, the single "All those Words" is
released on the 7th of March.
Only left to say: Look out for "liquid Monster" and the headliner tour in Spring!
