REVIEW: [o3] - WITHOUT FACE


 

[o3] - WITHOUT FACE (Guano Recs. - 2001) : From Estonia comes this CD conformed by four tracks, from this trio. The sound of the band is not conventional, specailly the way in ehich Roby plays the guitar. "No face" starts with a really interesting sound from the band (I like the way the cymbals and the hihat sound, like for example in a Queensryche, really well equalized) to enter in a furious track to bang your head to. The style of this band can be described as metal with a modern and original sound. "What About", the second track, starts with a clean part, with Roby singing in a very subtle way, entering more heavily later and returning to subtle again.Can we say that this band makes progressive metal? Yes, I think so. "Invisible Game" starts with a strong guitar riff sort of a new metal band but played with a heavier sound. Interesting. To end this MCD the band has recorded a Judas Priest cover , "Saints In Hell" (yes, the one in the classic "Stained Class") but very different from the original (purists won´t like this).
