Formed in Moscow in 1993, here is an
extremely progressive and technical death metal band that call
themselves Hieronymus Bosch. "Artificial Emotions" is only
their 2nd album after 12 years, but their first album (The Human
Abstract) was actually released 10 years ago (1995). Anyways, let me
entice you with what you should not be missing. HB have a
philosophical outlook (I guess me saying that is kind of a catch 22)
on emotions and of the space/time continuum. Their guitar savagery
would lead you to think of bands like Cynic and Pestilence. Indeed,
they are MUCH like these bands. The only essential with HB is, they
are still around AND more aggressive! Plus, the shredding guitars
are in league with James Murphy (tons of solos), the drumming
precision is Hoglan-esque, the bass lines are like DiGiorgio and the
vocals sound very much like (Piotr Wiwczarek of Vader)- well, death
metal!! I would say these guys are alongside similar current acts
such as Quo Vadis (Canada) and Necrophagist (Germany). Extreme
perfectionists with their respected instruments! I would suggest
visiting their home page so you can find out how to order this
phenomenal album! Rating: 98 Reviewed By: Thomas Mitchell |
