│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This fifth album for the underground Norwegian ║ │
│║ Prog / Power Metal kings starts with a short ║ │
│║ Flamenco guitar and compass handclap pattern ║ │
│║ intro named ôEsperantoö, luckily DIVIDED ║ │
│║ MULTITUDE will quickly manage to change ║ │
│║ everything soon with a real Metal riff and a ║ │
│║ double kick onslaught, they set the power to ║ │
│║ maximum heaviness mixed with sheer elegance, ║ │
│║ indeed since then the remaining 10 tracks on the ║ │
│║ album are pretty sharp with furious drums and ║ │
│║ almost Thrashy rhythmic guitars but moderated ║ │
│║ with ultra-catchy vocals in the real ║ │
│║ Scandinavian method. I like to think of them ║ │
│║ about as an heaviest version of CIRCUS MAXIMUS ║ │
│║ (ôWhat I Seeö), applicant of a few hyper ║ │
│║ challenging Melodic motifs with a stunning ║ │
│║ Schizophrenic vocal rendition, indeed Mr. Sindre ║ │
│║ Antonsen alternates brilliantly between "testo- ║ │
│║ tenroic" multi layered singing like Jekyll & ║ │
│║ Hyde, in the great PRETTY MAIDS & Ronnie Atkins ║ │
│║ tradition with a two-faced styled that switch ║ │
│║ from velvet to sandpaper in the same sentence. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Of course all the players are ultra-competent, ║ │
│║ Christer Har°y (PS: his other band with his ║ │
│║ brother Rayner called TEODOR TUFF is also warmly ║ │
│║ recommended by yours truly) is a solid guitar ║ │
│║ player but stay quite discrete leaving much room ║ │
│║ to another essential strong element in their ║ │
│║ sound: the fantastic yet subtle Eskild Kl°ften, ║ │
│║ who provides some fine effective performance in ║ │
│║ multipl(a)ying synthetic ambient waves & ║ │
│║ Progressive Rock keyboards. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In this genre the songwriting should be ║ │
│║ uselessly complicated, well itÆs not exactly the ║ │
│║ case with ôFeed On Your Miseryö, but donÆt get ║ │
│║ me wrong please, there is plenty of weird or ║ │
│║ cerebral moments as some strange structures ║ │
│║ mixed with passionate and luxurious arrangements ║ │
│║ quite rich in complexity with an average over ║ │
│║ six minutes in length without never sounding ║ │
│║ hermetic or rigid. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The smartest cuts like the title track ôFeed On ║ │
│║ Your Miseryö, the delicious ôCrimson Sunsetö or ║ │
│║ the dark ôVicious By Heartö are also pretty much ║ │
│║ influenced by early QUEENSRYCHE or CRIMSON GLORY ║ │
│║ with some modernized vocals taken from the ║ │
│║ inherent omnipresent obvious reference while ║ │
│║ speaking about Prog Metal singer, the soulful, ║ │
│║ the one, the only: Sir Russell Allen (SYMPHONY X ║ │
│║ / ADRENALINE MOB) himself (ôScarsö). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Finally, the best comparison could have been ║ │
│║ PAGANÆS MIND meets ANUBIS GATE meets CONCEPTION. ║ │
│║ I already said it, I will say it again: ôFeed On ║ │
│║ Your Miseryö by DIVIDED MULTITUDE, thatÆs ║ │
│║ Scandinavian Melodic Prog at its Best. ║ │
