- The baking begins.. -
Alright, let's see what monsters you've created. You there, "Pheromone", let me taste what you've done. Ok.. Promising first bite.. Confronting and tasteful.. Oh.. You lack a bit here.. What a shame.. Could have done with a stronger body.. Ok, I'm sorry son, but I'm a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong, you've nailed the special ingredients, which makes this a very interesting piece of work, but you've forgotten about the body, the base of your dish. You see, only the special ingredients will not take you that far. Ingredients need to add to each other, to push each other to new heights. Right now, your dominating Yoshiko Ohara just spoils the entire taste, and cannot satisfy on its own. I'm giving you a lot of points for trying out, and I definitely recognize your potential, but please keep my advice in mind.

Posts: 4943 Written by Lucas on 20.01.2008 at 22:02 ever heard the 3rd and the mortal? Ann-Mari Edvardsen has the most amazing vocals.. ever. listen to In This Room if you haven't heard it. it has a lot of resemblance to Bloody Panda btw. the whole feeling of the music. dark, moody with a hint of psychedelia. that album is truly amazing.

This is music I'd listen to while cleaning my gun, putting a corpse in the trunk of my car, bathing my poodle, or while undergoing any other brutal activity. Your review made me hungry, Nervel. Now I want a Bloody Panda sandwich.

Okay, I feel like I didn't got enoungh information from the review - what kind of genre is this, what does Bloody Panda sound like? Because when a band with a name like that gets that positive response in comment I want to know more

Posts: 13427 Written by Spyroid on 22.01.2008 at 00:48 As I said, a mix of Thergothon & Skepticism musicalwise (in other words: funeral/sludge doom). And the vocals.. well. The vocals can be described as a woman, with a bit of a deep voice, singing weird stuff, sometimes painfully screaming. I really wouldn't know how to describe it in a way that you'll know what it sounds like, better listen to it yourself.

Nice original review. Especially that you keep the cooking metaphor going for the entire length of the review. I think I will check them out especially since the first bite is really promising.
