As unusual as the name of this band is their music. With "The Great Maddening" LE Grand Guignol have created a grotesque Klangwerk that although comes in fur of the more extreme variety Metals, in reality, a masterpiece of deep popular compositions for us keeps ready; piled with piano, classical elements, choirs, pathos and synths. So here befalls our favorite music genre painting of a Gothic and a swing in a theatrical, dramatic as well as sinister direction. The songs are very cleverly arranged, so that the various instruments're free coexist and create a whole different world of sounds. From beautiful guitar solos, creepy keyboard deposits, catchy hooks and stylistic additions from different cultural backgrounds of the esthete will find everything he desires. Bombastic Metal attacks with genre typical growl or screech vocals sinistres whispers to Frauengeträller alternates seamlessly from with operetta-like soundscapes. Times epic, sometimes brutally; always scary and bittersweet, so innovation must sound. Nearly an hour of play and no little bit of boredom.
