Rakoth | Planeshift
The Safety Dance with a stampeding drum
computer and some standard metal riffs in the background.
CD, Elitist/Earache/Zomba
Tekst: Martÿn ter Haar
Publicatiedatum: 28 juli 2002
The fact that there are so many lost souls who actually like the abhorrences presented as music on this album that two years after its original release, it is being re-released in a remastered and repackaged version brings out my messiah-nistic tendencies. I want to reach out to these people, lead them out of the darkness to musically greener pastures. And it doesn't have to be the Garden of Eden: Even the icy-tundra-where-lichen-is-the-only-vegetation-of-the-Now-That's-What-I-Call-Mus ic!-series, or the steppe-at-the-height-of-the-dry-season-that-is-schlager would be an improvement for these poor sheep that have wandered straight into the pack of Russian wolves known by the hellish name of Rakoth.
The least of the three demons that makes up this dark pact is called Dy and plays guitar. His role is minute compared to those of upper demons P. Noir and Rustam. The latter's keyboards keep Dy in his subordinate role, and his drum computer programming makes sure Planeshift sounds flat and cheap throughout. An extreme metal that uses a drum computer . . . can a band sink deeper into the pits of music hell? Yes. Leader P. Noir plays flute and sings folk melodies. Very bad folk melodies, of the type the annoying minstrel sings in your average Robin Hood parody.
The overall effect sounds like The Safety Dance with a stampeding drum computer and some standard metal riffs in the background. That's when it doesn't sounds like Clannad with a stampeding drum computer and some standard metal riffs in the background. These fine combinations make Planeshift the first metal CD ever that made me want to kill myself. As a sacrifice for the sinners who bought this album.
