Rise of The Fallen - Bloodline EP (Golem Records)

Rise of The Fallen follow up their acclaimed Citizen Cain EP and DVD releases with a new EP, Bloodline, supposedly a taste of what their debut album in the making is supposed to bring to the unsuspecting world. In truth, 11 tracks and a play time of one hour, make Bloodline more of an album that an EP, but that's all the best for the listener! Also, judging by what this release has on offer, there's only to look forward to the album indeed. Bloodline is a powerful work where muscular guitars and guttural vocals make up quite a nefilimesque atmosphere, although mr. Philip Faith -the man behind the project- keeps its own varied style quite interesting with very good takes on electronics, rumbling rock beats and synths that give atmosphere and move the work away from the dangerous trap of metal/nu metal or any yawn variation of the term. They pay their tribute to masters of the genre such as Killing Joke, with a cover version of Sun Goes Down. As with their previous release, Rise of The Fallen show they are fully prepared to take the stomping dancefloor on for a ride with a stormy version of the title track (which also appears in its album version) showing really the band trashing out full force and shifting the emphasis to electronics, relentless beats, angered out vocals and vocal samples to create a one-off whirly waltz of madness for the listener. Tracks like Indiscipline, are more in line with the band main sonic attitude and this one has all the numbers to become a stormy single. Even the band has produced a stylish video to it, whose fetish undertones match well the character of the song. But the band shows that they are at home even with more subtly atmospheric tracks, such as Tachutonim or Hyena (Mutation), bringing in elements more in line with the goth rock tradition. It looks like Rise of The Fallen's recipe for darkness is a well concocted one and I don't think the Canadian band will have much difficulties in affirming themselves in the scene either side of the ocean. Which makes me look forward with great anticipation to their debut album. www.riseofthefallen.com -

BIO:

The King was everything, retracting himself within itself chaos was born, The divine flux flowed through the four worlds into ten holy channels, and onward until our universe came to be. From the residue of previously destroyed universe came the shell. As soon as one holy channel was hidden from the divine flux: evil was born. With creation came anti-creation, from the tree of life came the tree of good and evil. Adam and Eve begot Seth, the angel and Eve begot Cain and Abel, From Cain came ten unholy emanations who gave birth to the different breeds of the fallen. Throughout history, these breeds mingled with mankind to leave us in a hybrid world of great confusion. From the tower of Babel to 9/11, these same forces have been at work. Only now the fallen will regain their original state of purity. Welcome, the world is now embracing obscurity, a crisis, a familiar blackness, A darkness which has always been obstructing the breathing light of being, stifling organic movement and introducing the decadent cyber-mechanical consciousness of the Fallen in the ever present vacuum. To escape the machine, we attempt to transcend the worlds. We throw into question the authenticity of human existence. Evil is a conscious force which attempts to extract the light-life from matter and return it to its initial chaotic darkness... Entropy. In a time when the metaphore of death prevails, the devil's expression of anti-being is predominant in todays civilizations. When the body is being stripped of its meaning and its function reduced to cyber mechanical obsenity, the essence of its power is vulgarised. In this time, the fallen must sing. Sing, a new song.
