it took me quite a while to get into them. when i read about people who adore DSO they always say that it takes a while to sink in, but when it does you will never look back. keep listening, dont force it, but just let it do its thing over time.
Took me years for this band to sink in, and I started with them when they released the Clandestine Blaze split, which was very normal french sounding black metal at the time, compared to what they're releasing now. At that time they didn't really blip on my radar, until I heard Si Monumentum.
Thing is with Fas, while I love their previous releases, like kenose and their more old school stuff, Fas redefined my definition of music and really shocked me to the core, so every previous release feels like a lead up to Fas. Everything before Fas seems a little inferior. Still enjoyable. But Fas smashed my face into a bloody concave mess, while the likes of Kenose and Si Monumentum, and their splits, lightly brush my cheek!
I just hope they don't step backwards with this new release. Actually, i'm kinda hoping for 20 minutes of unrelenting chaos that is even harder to grasp and listen to than Fas. I want them to redefine my definition of music again.
Hope I'm not wishing for too much!
Kinda wish I knew what these guys looked like.
oh and I'm on msn, sometimes... very rarely.. but like,
