Verlangen TAPE 2013 by Zwaertgevegt
1: Wintermelancholie
2: Call of Winter
3: Het tranenmeer
4: Verlangen
5: Wenn das Wald mein einige Liebe ist
Review: Fuck this intro of
eight minutes. If Id listen to this on tape instead
of mp3 I would have thrown this one in the trash by
now
Melancholie has one hell of making up to do at
this point! But does it? No, it fucking does not! The
music of Melancholie is, as expected, drawing from
feelings of melancholy, but it just leaves me feeling sad
(and not in a doom or even goth
way). Moody guitar lines ooze out of the speakers as
rancid wine. The sound of the tracks is way off balance,
and really not a joy to listen to, but perhaps joy was
never a keyword here! There are some nice riffs here,
scattered around in the songs, which, combined,
wouldve made one great song
Anyway
I
suspect the first song to be (nearly) instrumental, just
like other songs rarely host vocals. And if they do,
theyre buried behind the instruments, so I could be
mistaking when not hearing someone screaming. At least
there is consistency, the band leaves us with ten fucking
minutes of ongoing outro! Verlangen means
longing, but its not this band I long for.
