Background/Info:
“Ages Of Determination”
is a split release featuring two Polish projects dealing with dark-military
music. They both previously released some solo-productions.
Content:
Inspired by W.W.I. Jowisz
takes off with 4 tracks. We’re clearly entering into a military sound universe
dominated by sampled noises from the battlefields, folk songs and National
hymns. This atmosphere has been supported with dark sound treatments.
H.ø.s.t. doesn’t sound
that different in sound and global approach. We now can recognize extracts from
speeches by Churchill, Hitler ao. And here again this terror atmosphere has
been reinforced by dark noises and sound treatments.
+ + + :
I’m not always a huge fan
of split-releases, but both bands clearly share a common interest and music
approach. You even get the impression to hear the same artist. The composition
has a strong visual appeal of the horror on the battlefields while it also has
something disturbing. But in the end that’s precisely the effect we expect when
listening to this kind of work.
– – – :
Both projects reveal very
good ideas and an accomplished production, but I’m missing a climax.
Conclusion:
Imagery can be shocking,
but when music stimulates the brain to create a very own imagery it can even
become more shocking. This is an interesting split release between two
noticeable Polish projects.
Best songs:
“The Franco Prussian
War”, “Siege 1944”, “Niedobschütz 1945”.
