BLIZARO “Cornucopia della Morte”
I, Voidhanger Records
USA is extremely huge country. State of New York (don’t confound with city of New York coz these two places are located in different places – both on east coast, but rather far from each other) maybe isn’t big one as on American conditions, but there live more people than in whole Scandinavia for example. In this entire crowd there’re of course many musicians. Some of them live in city of Rochester. Examples are here Mark Rapone (bass), Mike Waske (dr) and John Gallo (guit, keyb & voc) who in 2004 decided to create together music. And that’s why BLIZARO was formed.
When I saw picture of band’s members I thought that their music has something to do with Doom Metal. So it was a little surprise for me to read how they describe their music. They call it “Progressive Rock/Doom Metal”. So it seemed that my intuition still works well. And when I heard their music I was like: “Why the hell I’m right so often?!?” There’s some touch of Doom Metal in fact. But it’s not Doom Metal which most of you expect. You know, it’s not some super-slow waltz which mangles everything on its road. There’re some parts like that, but more often it has more with Rock to do. Adjective “progressive” suggest that musicians show their technical abilities –it takes all musicians including bassist. And that’s right. But it’s not showing technique just to show it! It means only that songs have rich structure. John sings with spotless voice which reminds me some very well-known in METAL world English with initials O.O.
If you like a little twisted (but in its way melodious) and not so easy music than I recommend you this released in form of CD and LP nine-song album! It’s good, even very good when you want to take a rest from all this noise which we all listen to.
