[...]This must be one ofthe most eclectic andethereal <strong>in</strong>die rockalbums <strong>in</strong> recentyearsANODINE: “Passages” Creates A Hybrid, Adrenal<strong>in</strong>Pump<strong>in</strong>g Rock Sound!Anod<strong>in</strong>e is a trip rock project orig<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 2008that comb<strong>in</strong>es the genres alternative rock and triphop. The hypnotic-driv<strong>in</strong>g style is characterized bytight atmosphere and emotional <strong>in</strong>tensity. Thegloomy-melodic songs ma<strong>in</strong>ly deal with lim<strong>in</strong>alpsychic experiences and critical reflections ofsociety.Anod<strong>in</strong>e are a bless<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> modern rock n’ roll, theydon’t succumb and conform <strong>to</strong> all the bland trendsfound so prom<strong>in</strong>ently <strong>in</strong> <strong>to</strong>day’s music. They possessan extremely tight-knit sound that mixes melodywith rock and thrash, at free will. The guitars oftencome <strong>in</strong> bloodlett<strong>in</strong>g spurts, and the heavy vibe, <strong>to</strong>songs like “Color Of This Place,” “Dark Side Of Venus,”and “Break Away,” all hearken back <strong>to</strong> a heavy metalage when bands like Black Sabbath and Iron Maidenruled, not that these guys sound like anyth<strong>in</strong>g thosebands by a long-shot it’s just that Anod<strong>in</strong>e has anaura <strong>to</strong> its sound, rem<strong>in</strong>iscent of where bands likeMaiden and Sabbath came from. Anod<strong>in</strong>e take thoseclassic rock rhythms and mix it <strong>to</strong> the modernalternative sound of bands like the Muse, then throw<strong>in</strong> the creative atmosphere of Massive Attack, <strong>to</strong>create an orig<strong>in</strong>al hybrid sound, that is noth<strong>in</strong>g lessthan adrenal<strong>in</strong> pump<strong>in</strong>g.A t<strong>in</strong>ge of Power-rock also makes conf<strong>in</strong>ed appearances across the album, though not nearly radio readyhits, some songs have an absolutely modern, catchy appeal, mostly due <strong>to</strong> the freshly styled vocals. Attimes speed metal, at times heavy pop, at times dark metal, at times ambient trip rock, Anod<strong>in</strong>e can’t bep<strong>in</strong>ned down <strong>to</strong> any one sound. Some tunes are even driven by what sounds like operatic arrangements,a perfectly stunn<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong>uch for any modern rock album, let alone an <strong>in</strong>die one.1 / 2Anod<strong>in</strong>e c/o Patrick HeyerRosmar<strong>in</strong>str. 12 E +49-211-7328835040235 Düsseldorf music@anod<strong>in</strong>e.deGermanywww.anod<strong>in</strong>e.de
