█ I somehow got attracted to RED MOON ARCHITECT by █
█ its name which I find really cool. Thankfully it █
█ was not the only thing that got my attention as █
█ the mixture of Death / Doom Metal that they play █
█ is really appealing to my taste. So ôConcealed █
█ Silenceö is the first album of the Finnish RED █
█ MOON ARCHITECT which started as Saku MoilanenÆs █
█ one man project but does feature a full band for █
█ the album recordings. █
█ ôConcealed Silenceö is a five track record that █
█ spans for approximately 30 minutes long. The cover █
█ of the record shows a child screaming in a dark █
█ blue purple background and I guess that one could █
█ be better. Concerning the tracks, ôAbscondö starts █
█ the sequence of doom with heavy guitars and █
█ growling vocals and in the middle of it clean █
█ vocals come in. The starting riff evolves during █
█ the song and some synths appear here and there, █
█ while in the end speeds go up and there is also █
█ some piano parts. ôFuneralö starts with an █
█ acoustic intro followed by growls and heavy █
█ Doomish riffs. Eventually it ends up again into an █
█ acoustic part that dissolves into strings. ôDeath █
█ Rankö gets things a bit more brutal with faster █
█ speeds and double bass drums. On ôBlack █
█ Butterfliesö there is a noise about three minutes █
█ long which I guess should be made by those █
█ darkened moths before the song kicks in. Doom █
█ Metal riffs and a lot of melody in the leads █
█ combined with growls and keys build up this song █
█ which ends with clean vocals. Final song ôRealmö, █
█ has some acoustic guitars before the Doom Metal █
█ riffs come in but surprisingly come in female █
█ vocals and a song ends in a bitter yet beautiful █
█ way. █
█ RED MOON ARCHITECT with its melodic Doom Metal of █
█ mellow leads and Death riffology, the excellent █
█ clean and dark vocals and the use of synthesizers █
█ creates a canvas of varying shades of melancholy █
█ and wrath. The music compositions are mature and █
█ show that Mr. Moilanen has a clear vision on what █
█ he wants to achieve. Juuso TurkkiÆs guitar █
█ performance is of professional standards with █
█ solid heavy parts and mellow lead guitar parts. █
█ Both the vocalists have done a great job here. █
█ Frans Alto delivers terrific growls and amazing █
█ clean vocals while Anni Viljanen gives a stunning █
█ performance at the end of this record. The █
█ production of the record is in high standards but █
█ the rhythm section could be a bit more █
█ distinguishable. █
█ I found the record a real pleasure to listen to █
█ and I liked the dark atmosphere that this Doom █
█ Metal band is delivering. Somehow it also reminded █
█ me of the old awesome OPETH because mainly of the █
█ vocals (especially the growls) and secondly █
█ because of the music style. I believe that this is █
█ a solid release and a great first step for RED █
█ MOON ARCHITECT. I donÆt know though if I can call █
█ it a record because of its short duration but if █
█ they are going for a full length release they █
█ should keep those members and get some extra to █
█ perform live. But in all terms I absolutely █
█ recommend this to the fans of the genre out there █
█ and I will be eagerly awaiting their next release. █
