Reviews of the album PassagesIndeed, “Passages” seems to be a combination of riff-heavy metal and an eclectic, experimental approach.The result is an album cram full of twisted guitars, trippy vocals, and eccentric song structures, sure toplease even the most discriminating rock fan. The album, which after the opening track, “Antilight,” firesout of the gate with the roaring “Color Of This Place.” From there on, the goods come hard and quickly, asthe next three songs are all no less than terrific.From “The Virus” on-wards the tracks take on an esoteric turn, with sounds that dig deep into a blackhole, drawing in endless epic-rock and grunge sounds, and moreover, spitting out bass riffs that groove ina hyper kinetic fury, that is so loud, it can split the calluses on your ears. “Storm,” “No Summer” and “SheCalls,” are perfect examples of this.This must be one of the most eclectic and ethereal indie rock albums in recent years, at least amonganything near the mainstream. But if you like rock that disregards boundaries while pounding the lesscoherent areas of your brain, then Anodine are definitely for you.It’s hard to know what to compare this album to. It’s not gimmicky nu-metal, or alternate thrash. It’s justgreat songwriting, great lyrics, and terrific instrumentation. It’s the most intelligent and well crafted triprock (if you have to put into this into a genre), I’ve heard in the indie arena, in a while!Rick Jamm (Jamsphere.com)February 25, 2013Link2 / 2Anodine c/o Patrick HeyerRosmarinstr. 12 E +49-211-7328835040235 Düsseldorf music@anodine.deGermanywww.anodine.de
Reviews of the album PassagesThis album tookmany years of hardwork, creativity,thought, production,and post productionto deliver amasterpiece to theworld. FeedbackFury gives the album“Passages” byAnodine an11 out 11!Anodine is a project driven by the German multiinstrumentalistPatrick Heyer. Their debut album“Passages” was released in January 2013. The albumfeatures 16 songs of atmospheric rock with reallystrong and interesting melodies. I would describetheir sound as a cross between Nine Inch Nails andKorn with a little David Bowie thrown in for somespice.Patrick has a really dark and foreboding voice thatreally carries most of the album. He creates reallymemorable melodies that carry you on apsychedelic journey. Lyrically, Heyer says he isstrongly influenced by his dreams. When listening tothis album, you can hear a dream like vocalpresence, but the music will wake you up with itsdark and powerful driving force.One of the standout tracks is “Dark Side of Venus” - areally interesting song with a cool driving rhythmand emotional performance by Heyer on vocals. Thesong builds up to a really strong chorus.The production value on “Passages” is fantastic.There are some subtle keyboard and synth partsthroughout the album that add to the overalltexture of the experience. Anodine likes to mix thecombination of hard rock guitars, atmospherickeyboards and synths with a drum beat to dance to.“Breakaway” has a killer guitar riff and driving progression that really jumps out of the speakers. Patrickreally digs in deep to deliver an intense vocal delivery.A lot of the songs written by Patrick are inspired by dreams. A prime example is some of the lyrics to“Breakaway.” “I awake to find I'm dead and it's OK, I'm content. The world is mine, just for a while, before Iforget again.”1 / 2Anodine c/o Patrick HeyerRosmarinstr. 12 E +49-211-7328835040235 Düsseldorf music@anodine.deGermanywww.anodine.de
