Helalyn Flowers : Airesis - CD
Ref: 22495
"Àiresis", HELALYN FLOWERS' electrifying 6th studio album is nothing but a manifesto of choice: choosing art, choosing music, choosing self-expression, above any media attempt to flatten individuality! It offers us the antidote against sterile chatting, obsessive mechanization and the excessive culture of hype. From the cinematic cosmic introspection of opening addictive synth pop tune "Halos" to backbeat- grounded futuristic electronic rock of "Some Kind Of Outer Minds" through the dystopian heavy industrial pop anthem "Metropolis Necropolis" and solid electro club-hit single "Suicidal Birds", the visionaries Noemi Aurora and Maxx Maryan also introduce for the very first time a song sung in their mother tongue, "Rosso Atlantide", proving to be the first to blend Industrial Metal and Modern Pop under the aegis of the Italian language. Strong from his vast, decades-long and eclectic musical background in which the solemnity of black metal, the energy and roughness of hard-rock, the unpredictability of prog combined with the freshness of pop and the omnipresent obscure shadows of gothic, multi-instrumentalist Maxx Maryan manages breaking down the barriers of musical genres to create the absolute universe where Noemi Aurora can widely expand her unmistakable vocal style at will, naturally combining the overlaying of sensual pop melodies, dance-tainted hard rock aggression and evocative atmospheric falsettos which create that unique HELALYN FLOWERS bewitching sonic trademark we are all fond of! With a feeling of zeroing the future and living in an eternal present, HELALYN FLOWERS offer us a stunning and mesmerizing album inspired by the great productions of the eighties, hovering at the imaginary border of Electro Pop and Industrial Metal, and re-sculpted in a post-apocalyptic futuristic fusion in which melodic synth orchestrations, hard hitting beat patterns and cutting edge guitars merge and let Noemi Aurora's sensational female vocal range shine in an exploding endless universe of sound. If you like bands like LADYTRON, NIN, SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES, CLAN OF XYMOX, WITHIN TEMPTATION, THE CURE, GARY NUMAN or other CRYSTAL CASTLES, "Àiresis" is your next best-play: an album that will grow on you in no time… Tracks : 01 Halos 02 Suicidal Birds 03 Rosso Atlantide 04 Metropolis Necropolis 05 Reanimate 06 Cosmic Ants 07 Fleshy Robot 08 Skyland 09 I don't like You 10 Some Kind of outer Minds
