AZURE EMOTEChronicles Of An Aging MammalRelease: July 7th, 2007Label: Epidemie RecordsAvantgenre: Experimental Electro DeathDuration: 47:08Origin: USAOfficial site: http://www.azureemote.com/................................................................................................................................Again and again, a shocking reminder.Face to face, we've never been blinder.An eight-armed primate, poised as a Hindudeity. Dressed in suit, with a crown ofthorns, an anthropomorphic brute wieldinga skull, a knife, an inverted cross, agun, and justice. The world is slowly beingflooded by a second deluge; fish and birdsroam freely about the ruins and carcass ofmankind. Religious zeal and shallow faithin technology, our end. It is quite clearwhat AZURE EMOTE's feelings towardtheir fellow humanity are. Chronicles OfAn Aging Mammal is the first and so faronly release from this obscure brain childof one Mike Hrubovcak, vocalist of deathmetal monsters like VILE and MON-STROSITY among others, now completedas a trio.A cinematic explosion of apocalyptic metal,brutal grindcore, symphonic death andblack metal, industrial noise and ambience,trip-hop, weird samples; you are aseasily dragged into this chaotic flurry ofnoises and genres as you are thrown outof it, and you will never know what hit youor understand what actually happened.The chaos of an Abigor drenched in trippyelectronica; the sedative melancholy ofoceanic trip-hop metal akin to KorovaKill,or perhaps a coastal Lux Occulta. Thedrummer from RUMPELSTILTSKINGRINDER adds a persuasive layer of, well,brutalized deathgrind. Vocals rangingfrom pig-styled squeals and morbid deathgruntsto the wonderfully soothing yetdissonant jazz and operatic goth of TODESBONDEN's Laurie Ann Haus to reversedchants and samples. Mostly gruntsand growls though. A wooden flute haunting"Cosmic Tear", beautiful as nothingelse. Disturbing synths reminiscent ofearly id Software/Raven FPS. No tracksounds the same. Too many elements tomention, quite often too many to handlein one listening session; rarely have I begunlistening to the opening tubular bellsand actually reached the sampled screamsof Laura Palmer in the harrowing sadnessand mystery of the aptly titled "Dementia"within an hour.On one side, a misanthropic hatred andaloof contempt for a mankind killing itselfand its world - "Clarity Thru Apathy","Complex 25", "Justified End", "Submerged","Misanthropic Disgust". On theother, a saddened melancholy mourningwhat the other side loathes - "CosmicTear", "Procreation Abnegation", "MarchOf Chemical Pessimism", "Dementia". Atornado of scintillating effects and multifacetedemotions. The results of one derangedand overly ambitious bastard,clearly extremely talented and seriouslycreative, with an army of guest musicians- seven heads for seven instruments* -and way too much time in the studio -three years in the making. A masterpieceto some, scrambled ape-shit to others.Take your stance - I sure haven't takenmine. Into strange metal? Then this is foryou.(*Schematics on guest musicians: two vocalists,three drummers, two guitarists, two bassists, onekeyboardist, one flautist, counting members fromtwelve bands. And again, seven musicians. Plus MikeHrubovcak who is responsible for everything, fromcomposition and arrangement to layout and theme toelectronics, instruments and vocals.)aVoid
