Swan Christy - Black Is The White Color
Progressive metal isn't that big in the metalscene nowadays. When I looked at the cd itself and the booklet I saw the weirdest artwork I've ever seen, all in computer style. Looks pretty cool, though the lyrics aren't in it. Swan Christ have three other CDs on their name:
"One with the swans�
�Today died yesterday�
�Seven is enough�
I never heard of these guys before, nor their music style, so I was really eager to hear this.
The first song is the best way to describe the band and the entire CD. 'Because a Motherfucker Said So' Starts pretty fast, nice kinda poppy guitar riff, to slow down and turn into a radio-friendly song. The voice reminds me sometimes of James Hetfield.
Still the sound is really original, and good, though sometimes the song weakens and just dies. Too bad. On the other side, there are songs which are really powerfull (Because A Motherfucker Said So, 8?, Fuck Them). Don't expect screams or grunting, this is pure singing and melodic guitar playing. It's really worth it to listen the CD now and then.
