Nice booklet and disc. No back cover!
Neon Synthesis manages to build more than decent metal songs on a spine made of EBM with a catchy appearance. The diverse vocals of Johnny Thyper (dark, deep clean vocals mixed with raw screams and soft whisperings) and the different influences of each bandmember give each song an own identity. The album starts with more metal based songs. Future plague and The Last Dream, perfectly mastered to let them sound as one, are atmospheric and have a certain amount of catchyness as well. Specially the chorus of The Last Dream (My soul, is empty now. What I was, is far away.) gets stuck in your head. The strong and powerful riffs at the end of this song are worth mentioning as well. Solitude and Fear is the first re-recorded track, originally to be found on the Promo004 release. The fact that this album is better produced was definitely a blessing for this song and turned it from a raw, dark demo song into an atmospheric, kind of gothic metal song with a dreamable sound and a catchy chorus. Be able to fly away when you listen to this song. Awakening is a song with a more modern, danceable sound. People who used to love The Prophet on the Promo004 are definitely happy with this song. But, other people must be as well. More than decently build, this song is a good result of mixing electro/EBM with dark rock. The many things they tell with the lyrics, the less although the more things they say with the music riffs in the next song. Stolen by the Wind is perfect for relaxing, no complexities in the music, and the beauty of the vocals come forward perfectly. But, when you take a closer listen youll hear the little details that give words to the music itself. And in my opinion, best lyrics of the album! Rays of Mind and The Prophet are two re-recorded tracks again, with a few changes. The song havent lost any quality or catchyness fortunately, and they even improved some little samplings here and there (which are even clearer hearable thanks to the clean sound). Eden turns out to be my favourite track of the record, and people who are familiar with it already know why. Powerful, atmospheric sampling with dark keys and guitars mixed with the whispers and the deep normal vocals wrapped within a catchy package. Danceable but brutal. Atmospheric but catchy. This song has it all. Astral Coil brings you back to songs like Rays of Mind and Solitude and Fear, with a little touch of synth pop. Same concept, though different. I even think that people who like Moonspell will be very positively surprised with these songs too. The album ends with the title song, which happens to be an outro, but luckly I have pushed the repeat all button already a few times so the silence after the outro does not kill anything. This band has definitely as much talent as the bigger bands in its genre (Ensoph, Deathstars, Samael, …) and manages to give birth to an own identity already. I am 200% sure that this band, if they have the right management and stuff, will make it in the future. And not to forget that they confirmed their good live reputation more than once, even abroad. This album was worth the wait definitely, and this album gets even better and better the more youre listening to it!
