Italy is now one of the top countries in the metal scene. Aleph is an Italian band. I cant really say Metal, because I dont know really what kind of metal they play. Its not that Im an ignorant but coz this band is a bit dizzy in their own music.
Listening to this album, I found it hard to understand few things. First, what kind of music they play? You will find on their own website they are saying Heavy Metal, checking their own myspace page they are saying thery are Thrash Metal, and listening to their music, it has nothing to do with whether Thrash or even Heavy. There are growls, screams and grunts, may be you will think its Black or death something that gives you the impression that you dont know what music is this.
Second, the existence of the keyboardist. That man is really good keyboardist, but I dont know what is he doing other than struggling to find himself a space to play. And all that goes back to the music they play.
I heard its pretty bad to classify yourself or your band in only one genre. Well .I believe this band was trying to follow this saying, but too bad they got drifted very drifted. They didnt follow one classification that I guess they have missed the knowing of their music.
I liked the keyboardist and the drummer. The vocals too much growling has disturbed the listening to the 2 guitarists. But as far as I remembered they were ok.
