"Lia Fail", which is the name of an Italian neo-folk group that to me a few weeks to complete a copy of their new single "Leipzig" with which I may request a review to write about it and thus to make the music of these musicians more widely accessible. Neofolk
Although neither the Department of Paganland is, I've decided to take the musicians with the spreading of their Klanguts the German space to a little under the arms. First
is the design of the single praise. Specifically, it is a transparent film cover in a printed CD is included to match the concept of the single is the A5 booklet, which shows a medieval picture of the German city of Leipzig. But
same time a step further to the musical content that can be described quickly because there are only two tracks on the CD.
Restless Eye "is the name of the first piece.
Introduced by Fairy Glitter noise, the song goes on in a gentle instrumental. The first impressions of the song can already imagine the style of the band, a slow beating of the drum, a classical violin, played with passion and reveals a dreamy melody and an acoustic guitar (which is to hear only quiet is), suggest a close group of musicians from nostalgic fantasists. (To avoid misunderstanding: to understand not negative)
A touching song game between high female vocals and serious men, underlined the "dreamy component" of the music again.
It should be noted at the first listening of the song that the music would have been very inspired by Death in June, Neofolk and similar sizes. Also, a certain similarity with pieces of Fire and Ice, or Of the Wand & the Moon can not be overlooked.
Comparable to bands mentioned above and described medieval neo-folk music, is also the second "Battlefield".
The instrumental seems very (deliberately?) To build on the previous song. Apart from the fact that no trace of female vocals is more available, however, has not changed the play (which can move the performance even more in the direction of Death in June).
I must admit that I find it hard to write a review about singles, but rather as a little insight is offered in the musical work of a band, as for example in a demonstration or even an album. However, following are a few lines of the musical Rating:
is pure art, Neofolk, or at least that kind of neofolk, determined more challenging than metal. The above result is certainly not negative, because like on this CD has a nice sound environment was created, which is in my opinion, more suitable as background music. It may however be due to hold the two pieces of the sound effects in check (for Neofolk is usually much more experimental sound effect and what noise concerns).
your self-assessment as "Apocalyptic Folk", they will in any case fairly and because it is only a single (and the group with fantastic Neofolk and a medieval touch certainly not in the wrong way) is, I would Halgadom and Death in June- no fans abraten davon auf zukünftige Veröffentlichungen der Band ein Auge bzw. Ohr zu werfen!
