CHAOSSTAR is a next band from stable On Parole Productions
I do not remember when I recently listened some Slovenian metalheads and I desire to say that I was intrigued the first sounds of “Lifetime” of CHAOSSTAR.
It is hard to classify the band sounds. I feel here a feature of Power Metal as well as of Thrash Metal. The features are glued by a progressive glue. The specific melodies rich in the neoclassical subjects with the melancholy breath are the proof for Power Metal. However the heavy and dynamic subjects with an aggression and a rapacity are the proof for Thrash Metal. Those diversification of the arrangements are neatly connected by the complex progressive and technical accents full of the solo parties of the guitars and the ambitious accents of the bass as well as of the drums. The keyboard's motives are an additional fusion intensifying a very labile mood here, oscillating from an aggressiveness until a nostalgia.
Additionally I also should say about a pretty remarkable vocal layer The singing in a high tone with a hoarseness and a sharpness is a leading voice. However the different vocal colors appear here. There are more the low singings with a growling and sometimes even the feminine vocals or the chorus.
The works are a very complex and the variables. They often are with the surprising motives and the accents in a style of a trace of a classic music or the clean guitar sounds. The creators of “Lifetime” produced the piece of excellent material. There we will listen the many interesting musical subjects falling into the ears very freely (despite of the compiled arrangements). Though there are moments when we should more concentrate oneself for receiving sounds to not overlook some motives.
“Lifetime” is the original music for the original recipients.
