REVIEW: DIVIDED MULTITUDE - DIVIDED MULTITUDE

 

DIVIDED MULTITUDE - DIVIDED MULTITUDE (Independent, 2001)

Tracks: 1- Dreamin, 2- Stigmatize, 3- I, 4- No Man´s Land, 5- Tale of Tomorrow, 6- Streets of Bucharest, 7- Inner Self, 8- Confused

This album has new material from Divided Multitude (four songs) and material that was contained on their first album called "Inner Self" (also four tracks). The band plays some sort of hyperprogressive metal with a lot of technical parts. The music in the first four tracks (the newer ones) is really heavy despite being complicated and melodic, specially because of the guitar sound and the drums accentuation. There are some odd time patterns here and there. The tracks are full of keyboards that combined with the guitars make the songs really interesting and powerful. The last four tracks that are from "Inner Self" are kind of more melodic (and I am surprised because of the good sound that they have). Interesting band to don´t miss a step. Favorite tracks: "No Man´s Land", "Streets of Bucharest" and "Stigamatize".
