Belgian scary! Because, in their dark and haunted definition of progressive rock, our friends overseas Quiévrain have no such beauties to build agonizing as their second creation, the fascinating Heresie. Univers Zero, founded in 1974 by Daniel Denis drummer and trumpeter Claude Deron under the surname Necronomicon Lovecraft certainly has the trappings of Magma French (which he also accepts the influence), but also a real personality who sees often slip into contemporary music, especially Stravinsky. Currently, in just three titles (three epics, rather, because of their impressive size), three compositions icing bloods where five musicians do not do more than necessary to build their impressive climates, where mastery is undeniable instrumental to authentic virtuosos is never in vain highlighted. In fact, it already gives us the Faulx, the Magma lot because of vocalists "vanderiennes" Guy Segers, and its 25 minutes beginning in abstraction then, as if the group was leaving a thick fog to build a masterful, dark crescendo where violin, tribal drums, vocals owned before the climate is not turned away by a beautiful melody taking us to an ethereal but tense final shaped gradual return to reality. Huge! After this monstrous "thing," Jack the Ripper and You Will Wanted in time would almost normality paces but still largely infused valuable road trips, harmonic detours, imaginative polyrhythms, he always something happening . Of particular note are the immense talent of Patrick Hanappier, violinist / violist of his state, contributing to climate ideally tight as elegiac. Perfectly set sound, it pulsates, it rumbles, but never squeak it does not attack the delicate eardrum Heresie is probably the most fantastically stunning work of its creators (which is saying something considering the quality of their catalog where 1313 Uzed and cleavages are also essential), a cake like we have unfortunately not often enough crosses and who, over 35 years after its release, continues to impress clients to young shoots new music trends dark. Strong, very strong.
