Fall Silent are an extreme sounding band, but what they are exactly playing is difficult to describe. It's surely a mixture of Hardcore, Metal and Punk, but the amount of the ingredients is changing from song to song. But on each song, they present themselves as an angry band, musically and lyrically. One of the first inspiration of each musician were the Seven Seconds, so it's no surprise that they covered 'Clenched Fists, Black Eyes' by their idols. The CD is containing two more cover versions, the Sesame Street theme and a terrible AOR song (Heartbreaker). On their second full-length-release, Fall Silent have developped further than their original influences. Complex Metal structures often let you think of bands like Crowbar or Meshuggah. The vocals contain nasty screams, spoken word passages and even some clean singing. This makes you think a lot of Dillinger Escape Plan or other bands who are playing Psycore. After one hour, you have survived 'Six Years In The Desert' and listened to one of the best extreme bands. Normally such a great album would deserve 10 out of 10 points, but as they put God and Jesus Christ on their thanks list, I have to reduce the final note to 9 points. Do they really think that such music will be listened to in Heaven? |
