Notes:
Sethian is a Finnish progressive metal band,
originally formed in 1998 but whose debut album,
Into the Silence, was not completed and released
until 2003. That album bears a striking resemblance
to the Empire-era of Queensr che, though with darker
lyrics. Members include Tapio Wilska of Finntroll,
sounding completely different out of trollish
character, and Jukka Nevalainen, the drummer for
Nightwish.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethian_(band)
And another band with a well known musician in it:
SETHIAN. The musician's name is Jukka Nevalainen,
drummer of NIGHTWISH (ok, we also have musicians of
WIZZARD and AGON here, but I do not think that you
could exactly call them "well known"). But that
should not let yourself be distracted, because
SETHIAN are far away from the NIGHTWISH sound. Then
again, if you read "Gothic Rock" as given style
description you might go "No, not another one!", but
wait before you give up on this sextet.
For one Gothic Rock alone does not fully describe
the sound of SETHIAN, because they also take up
elements from the Melodic Rock of the Eighties,
mingling them with that almost typically Finnish
sound, which I personally would not attribute the
widely set category of Gothic Metal, because even
though this band features three guitarists in their
line up (Jussi Koponen, Juuso JalasmΣki (both also
participating in the vocals) and Marco Kautonen),
this rather massive array of six strings apart from
some single songs does not really translate into an
equally massive sound.
On the other hand the compositions of SETHIAN, while
not providing us with anything really new, are so
well crafted and arranged that any kind of
accusations of jumping onto an already moving
bandwagon are kind of void. And that is the strength
of these Finns, that they are able to take the usual
ingredients and form very tasty and harmonic
compositions from it, which sound familiar, but not
generic. The opening duo of "Nothing Is True" and
the excellent "Dream Domain" should be enough to
convince you of this.
What also adds to the overall very positive
impression of "Into The Silence" is the very varied
vocals, with Wilska (formerly in NATTVINDENS GRAT
and now also in FINNTROLL, overall a jack-of-all-
trades), Koponen and JalasmΣki (who both are the
sole songwriters of SETHIAN except for "Blood
Calling", where Wilska worked with Koponen) sharing
the vocal duties, giving the songs (like the
excellent "Dead Reckoning" with its backing choir) a
very own and classy touch that further sets SETHIAN
apart from the legions of colleagues not only in
their home country.
The songs overall are held quite simple, are
immensely catchy, but never flat, with a mature
songwriting and an excellent sound (to get the album
mixed by Mikko Karmila and mastered by Mika Jussila
definitely helps), so if you have a tendency to like
this style, then SETHIAN's debut is an excellent
album to go for!
