speaking about Overrating with Manes, I think that a code666 band is surely too much Underrated: Thee Maldoror Kollective. their album "New Era Viral Order" is a fucking Masterpiece in my opinion , and I can't stand with the poor feedback (both from media and from sales) this album got... luckly there are people who decide now (after 1 year from the release) to write reviews like this one:
Band: Thee Maldoror Kollective www.maldororkollective.net Year: 2002
Album: New Era Viral Order
Label: Code666 www.code666.net
Title: Out of this world!
Avant-garde metal is unfortunately the most underrated form of metallic expression. Too bad because this genre of music have in its rank some of the most brilliant of todays composers. Whatever youve heard so far that could make you think was innovative or groundbreaking and so on, its most likely nothing compare to the limit breakers, the unfollowers of the set paths found in the main musical stream , that can be found in many an avant-gardist band.
Thee Maldoror Kollective is not only a great avant-garde band but they are totally futuristic sounding as well, so much so one can easily feel that he (or she) is listening is coming from another world or planet. New Era Viral Order is simply mind blowing, innovative from beginning to end, a top to bottom immersion into the creative geniuses forming the Kollective. Everything is art : the cover, titles, and ideas and of course the music. 9 tracks with 3 themes ( Analysis, Synthesis, Thesis). An awesome musical sonic structure hugely composed of keyboards parts are propelling the compositions into the outer limits of the imagination. The metallic engine beating the pulse is made of one of the greatest rhythm section brilliantly displaying its precision and fine tuning, great riffing included. The vocals selected for the journey are: futuristic, discrete black, samplings and screams.
I dont do drugs and Im glad I dont since with music like that , no one needs anything else to get high and into an interstellar trip! What about you? My favorite tracks? Just about any and all of them but mostly these: Haemorrhage Transmission, Rythmagik Disturbance (Embodiment Cell ), Rigid Pulse Starfire [93], The Toxium Discipline (Null Industries ) and Slaughter Mass 2002.
Bottom line: Now you know the title and see what I meant by creativity but you havent heard the best yet!
