This album is a very unique in the way of balancing the combination of old fashion rock with progressive metal and delicate touch of Eastern ethno sounds with fusion and jazz. Beautiful combination of these genres to listen with delight.
The cover smacks of something I won’t like but “Kill Me” kicks of with a cool riff that gives way to the vocal and then flies along with it. It’s very commercial, fast paced and catchy – their genre tag appears right.
Some may find it quite amazing with the stuff countries like Sweden can bring up. Just when youre so used to listening to Death Metal Bands like At The Gates (RIP) and In Flames. You see, some time ago Id never even be expecting something different from that part of the world (Death and Black kick ass but theyre not the only metal genres alive). Human Race, a Swedish Heavy Metal band, oh yes people, you got that right!
Pasi Humppi is a name I remember well and fondly from his time with the Swedish power metal band Freternia. When I was contacted by Pasi, and given the chance to hear the new CROMONIC, I was excited because to me this new band carries on a lot of the feeling and style from Freternia.
