:: ::
:: From the shadowy wombs of expectation and no man's land's ::
:: music, Kim S°lve's projects have for a long time intrigued ::
:: future fans from all over the world more than any concrete ::
:: proof of their existence has ever been delivered. In that ::
:: respect, Delirium Bound certainly is no exception, as some ::
:: of us have been waiting for Delirium, Dissonance and Death ::
:: since the late nineties, not really knowing, after all, what ::
:: to anticipate. Well, the judgement day has come so to speak, ::
:: so I will do my best to articulate what I have heard from ::
:: this mercilessly pungent and barbed band, for, as you may or ::
:: may not know, Kim S°lve is here supplemented by two of his ::
:: scorching partners in crime, namely Bjeima (Yurei, The Ghost ::
:: Conspiracy, etc.) on drums and vocals and Mannevond ::
:: (Koldbrann, Urgehal, Nettlecarrier, etc.) on backing vocals. ::
:: To my humble knowledge, these three senior gentlemen have ::
:: never sounded angrier and meaner than during this half hour ::
:: of pure, unpolished bestiality. ::
:: ::
:: Before going further, let me evoke a special souvenir of ::
:: mine. When Aura Noir's Hades Rise came out in 2008, and as I ::
:: was intensely listening to it and head-banging like a mad ::
:: dog, I toyed with the idea of doing a review to ask AGM fans ::
:: a question I still have no definite answer to: where in Hell ::
:: have the ferocious and truly bad-ass features of Metal gone, ::
:: in this new age of so-called psychedelism and avant-gardism? ::
:: I still wonder. While I'm not suggesting that Delirium Bound ::
:: might be the ultimate answer to my question, I have to say ::
:: that with Delirium, Dissonance and Death, they haven't left ::
:: the ophidian mischievousness and maniacal vibes of Metal out ::
:: of their blood-rushing musick. Unexpectedly, right from ::
:: Panic's first minute, I found myself once again head-banging ::
:: like there was no tomorrow, with the difference, this time ::
:: around, that I became fascinated by the distinct impression ::
:: that this kind of Metal is, in a subtle and coded way, ::
:: somewhat more left-field and individual in nature than most ::
:: other new-school explorations of the old-school. Kim's ::
:: sinuous and tightly leashed riffing outbursts are no ::
:: strangers to my comments, as the man has concocted, with ::
:: this album, an extremely dynamic and ebullient cocktail of ::
:: corroded, fist-raising Thrash aggressiveness, disharmonic ::
:: Black malice and ass-kicking, addictive organic groove. ::
:: Unsurprisingly mixed by Petter Bernstein (Virus, Audiopain, ::
:: Denture, etc.), the production is, in harmony with Delirium ::
:: Bound's musick, accordingly raw to the bone and completely ::
:: untriggered, but also Modern enough to accentuate the ::
:: guitars' fuzzy bite and inhuman raciness, as well as the ::
:: motorized bass lines' underground grumbling. As a result, I ::
:: think it would be inappropriate to pretend that Delirium, ::
:: Dissonance and Death sounds like most other Metal bands ::
:: around. It could only grow out of its own piece of dirt, so ::
:: to speak. ::
:: ::
:: I should also mention how the drum performance leaves me ::
:: wordless, as it is such a perfect match with the quite ::
:: uneasy music, giving it a most convincing and classy tone. ::
:: Using intricate fills and creative tempo patterns whenever ::
:: and however Kim's unrelenting riffs ask for it, and ::
:: obviously unafraid to literally groove his way into the ::
:: songs, Bjeima will probably turn many heads towards his ::
:: impressive creativity behind a drumkit. Take note of the ::
:: fact that the vocals are mostly Black metal-related, ::
:: screamed from the vocalists' fierce guts, ending up as much ::
:: flesh-ripping as the music needed it to intensify its quest. ::
:: To resume what I've said, I think Delirium Bound took ::
:: Voivod's floating dissonance, Thrash metal's restless ::
:: galloping and Black metal's queasy disturbance, to which ::
:: they added their very own poisonous potion to give us a ::
:: great Metal album with a personality and a style of its own. ::
:: In other words, this rocks! For fans of Satyricon, Thorns, ::
:: Aura Noir and everything in between and beyond. If you like ::
:: your Metal dirty and stripped down to the basics though not ::
:: devoid of some deadly nympholepsy and feverish delirium, I'm ::
:: sure you will know where to look for next time you need your ::
:: fix. ::
:: ::
:: CD limited to 1000 copies. ::
