Frank X & The Project: Earth / album review

FRANK X & THE PROJECT EARTH

image.jpg


This album boasts sound samples and vocal distortion . You feel after the first songs,
this album could be a science-fiction soundtrack for movie . A movie you want see.
The music on this album is very multi-faceted. "THE NEPHILIMS , is a really powerful track .
Especially the chorus is mega strong therefore. This concept album based on the parodic
story of the origin of mankind. This is also supported by "SATAN LESSON", " THE ORIGIN ",
" THE VISIT "and" THEN "conveys. These four tracks support the story, while the remaining
10 tracks complete the musical picture. Guitars form the backbone of the songs, supported
by unspectacular but tasty bass and drum work. Be it the ingenious "THE FLOOD",
which on beautiful guitar moments based . Or this completely crazy "SECRET GARDEN",
starts as a ballad and ends as an anthem .By the way high caliber compositions adorn
the album like "Babylon", "THE DECEIT" or "War Dance", which combines a gorgeous vocal
melody with quiet moments and clever suspense.


The chorus for "CHAO$" puts everything on the album in the shadows and highlight the middle
part with brilliant choir , This Song has a particularly fat groove on the one hand, but on the
other hand loosened by harmonious moments . "Prince of Darkness" refined with spacey
keyboards and varied arranged. these effects add not problems in the overall sound , they
go anyway catchy and make the listener immediately hooked. Next noteworthy is "The Doom",
in massive midtempo with a very impressive dark and scary note .But this album is not just a
fine example of that vocal in Heavy Metal but also for the fact , that you can generate
considerable bombast without letting act the arrangement intrusive . A few bell sounds here
a little back taken keyboard sounds there . Pace and some clever vocal overlays in the
choruses suffice perfectly to give a certain impression of size and epic. "A crazy musical
journey through time and space".

This is exactly true.
