THE MORNINGSIDE “Moving Crosscurrent Of Time” 2009 CD
Bad Mood Man Music
THE MORNINGSIDE is coming from Russia , and this not first work of theirs as I know. I see there in Russia are tons of bands into doom, melodic, grind genres, but total lack of pure thrash/black bands… Why? Maybe because our people have other visions from others, he-he J ? Well, THE MORNINGSIDE is into melodic death/doom music, and their album is similar to hundreds of other Russian bands… Nothing extraordinary and only thing which can keep them to be listened is good record-quality. The whole stuff is made by using of such pressing death metal tune together with melodic guitars, and melancholic doom metal atmosphere during the whole album playing time. Also again about vocals, I don't like here vocals too, those melodic vocals school isn't very good I think (you know, those screams like many melodic bands use). As for musical structure itself, I can say the music is pretty listenable but with many boring tunes as well, I mean this is not HUGE pleasant to listen to the whole album just with very first time! But all in all here are positive aspects too!!! For example, I like the sound, then I like guitar work, as well as beautiful guitar solos here and there. And these things like atmosphere, good musicianship, and beautiful melodies are make them a bit stronger. So, if you'd like to have next melodic death/doom band from Russia – look for this CD.
