ARCADIA - "FRACTURE CONCRETE" |
Yeah! the CD presented by Arcadia sounds really like something extremely professional and full of originalities! In fact what we received (Fracture Concrete) is not a demo but a full length, composed of 12 tracks (intro and outtro included) really cared and perfectly arranged.
The sound, very good under all points of view, is surely an element that again underlines the potency and the violence of the band! Moreover, the good work of the drummer, Edoardo Nicodemo, emphasizes at its best every single note and passage in each song!
Arcadia have just come back from an American tour which took them in the main venues of California! Well, this is the minimum we could expect from them since this band demonstrated how to build and structure this great work. Going back to the music I have to say that the mix between strong and aggressive components and slower and more melodic parts is great, and the resulting sound is really unique. From the first to the last track we are facing a wall of sound, alternating technique and more melodic parts with a slow mood, exactly complementary with one another.
Fracture Concrete begins and ends with the water drip sound which may suggest something calm and quiet, placid, that instead leads us to aggressive rhythmics that does not allow to relax, either from a physical or mental point of view.
Arcadia's work is a bomb you have to listen to! The
CD is available in the official website of the band, you can find the link in the upper part of this review.
