quick tranlsation...
Serotonal is new project of a man who isn't unknown - Darren White
(ex-Anathema, ex-The Blood Divine), found together with Gary Hill and
Jon Francis-White. His idea was to create a soundtrack of the end of
the world, where Darren appeared as a lyrics writer and the duo as the
composers. Interesting idea indeed. So does execution. On the CD
promoting the end of everything there are only 4 tracks lasting
together a bit over 10 minutes, but I think that these a few minutes
is worth much more than things Darren did for Anathema. Serotonal's
music is hard to classify, experimental combination of a few genres,
balancing on the edge of doom (i mean lyrics and general climate),
alternative rock and even dark ambient (And the Visions Show Us). Calm
and balanced music. If anyone is looking for heavy parts, the CD is
not for him, although the band is saying that future output will be
enriched with them. As yet, Serotonal is successful mix of
above-mentioned genres plus big speck of electronics. Darren's vocals
are also mainly building atmosphere of melancholy and calmness.
Therefore with no doubt I can reccommend The End of Everything to
everyone who loves climatic music and is not afaid of musical
experiments.
