Let’s go back to 2020, which was a difficult year filled with constant transformations, a trial year for all of us. But it was also a creative year, especially for SCATTERFACE and their album “2020”, which I will try to describe to you today.
It is a solo album in English-language by the German artist – Chris Techritz. He surrounded by good musicians and singers created an interesting musical product. A mixture of styles from Classical Music through Rock – Metal playing to electronic, Techno music and even Industrial. And here there is no advantage of one style, everything changes and mixes diametrically from track to track. As was in 2020, each day was unpredictable. The virus expanded its horizons hour by hour. And the songs are unpredictable too. They seem difficult and complicated, but at the same time they attack your sensitivity and infect you with their charm.
There is no shortage of the Heavy Metal vocals and even growlings at times, and the powerful and impetuous guitars for confiremd listeners of strong music. But and on the other hand, there are gothic even symphonic sounds, and even choral singing for lovers of lighter climates.
While listening to the songs, you can get lost in the styles that you will hear. They are combined and create a completely new style for me. It cannot be clearly classify. Not easy the year 2020 and not easy the album “2020”. Let me say that it is multidimensional in terms of music. An innovative combination of various musical genres, styles, vocals, instruments is the virtuoso musical phenomenon.
With this album, the longer you listen to it then more you hear. The sung light female vocals, the acoustic guitars, the atmospheric keyboards and the sound of the cello are like medicine for 2020. But when the strong guitars begin to dominate together with the screaming vocals and the music is filled with electronics then this combination reveals how complicated was the 2020.
In addition there are the beautiful, atmospheric, sometimes fairy-tale-sounding themes with the mysterious atmospheric interludes as well as the sharp, emotional Metal finish.
The album of SCATERFACE is the work of 2020, which despite everything that has happened at that time and still is not easy, shows what a man can do against what is going on around him. It turns out that even a difficult time can be used in the best possible way. So the band did it, because today we can hear an excellent, exciting album “2020”.
The moments are unique there. The year 2020 was also incomparable too. But I already know how is unique the album “2020”. And just will you see for yourself…
