|      | Review Summary: A very dark musical and lyrical trip that            |
|      | progresses the bandÆs vision without losing any of their             |
|      | originality.                                                         |
|      |                                                                      |
|      | On their sophomore album, Oi Magoi, Hail Spirit Noir created a       |
|      | truly original album, blending black metal and psychedelic           |
|      | progressive rock. It was a true work of art, which reminded us that  |
|      | by tastefully mixing genres, great albums are born. Where do you go  |
|      | from there, though?                                                  |
|      |                                                                      |
|      | Mayhem in Blue, while not discarding the avant-gardish dark style    |
|      | of music that made Hail Spirit Noir so extravagantly unique, stands  |
|      | completely in its own right pushing the theatrical element to the    |
|      | extreme. The new album relies heavier in effects while in the same   |
|      | time the structure of the songs became more straightforward: Spoken  |
|      | parts in Greek, a variety of horrifying sounds and bizarre           |
|      | instruments like didgeridoo, humdrum or barrel organ set up a        |
|      | majestic yet dark ambience in almost every song. Again, labeling     |
|      | their music in any way is something Hail Spirit Noir refuses to do.  |
|      |                                                                      |
|      | There is a subtle and addictive paradox in Hail Spirit NoirÆs        |
|      | latest work. One would expect that extending the theatrical          |
|      | elements on Mayhem in Blue would take its heavy toll on heaviness,   |
|      | which is clearly not the case. It seems that the band decided to     |
|      | take every aspect of their music a bit further. Yes, there are more  |
|      | mellow acoustic parts and clean operatic singing than in the past,   |
|      | but when the band decides to lay out the riffs, they are heavier     |
|      | than ever before. While the instrumentation is remarkably varied,    |
|      | the songs never lose their focus or drag out aimlessly. Everything   |
|      | is there for a reason.                                               |
|      |                                                                      |
|      | The opening sequence and sharp riffing of I mean you harm picks up   |
|      | from where the last album concluded, creating a certain groove that  |
|      | screams to be reproduced live, while itÆs fast playful rhythm        |
|      | carefully paves the way for the blunt spoken and effective chorus.   |
|      | Clearly the band means us harm. A sudden change in pace in the       |
|      | eponymous track is meant to catch off guard the unsuspecting         |
|      | listener and it works brilliantly. Like a poisonous snake that       |
|      | hypnotizes its victim, Mayhem in Blue is a spaced out, acoustic      |
|      | opus that showcases its great charm using a structured interplay of  |
|      | clean singing and brutal devilish growls.                            |
|      |                                                                      |
|      | The undercurrent of impending threat in Riders to Utopia, unveils    |
|      | in the form of a menacing guitar lead and a monotonous yet dynamic   |
|      | drum beat. Although the shortest song of the album, the band is      |
|      | pulling no punches and unleashes its most addictive chorus. By the   |
|      | time Lost in SatanÆs charm begins, you find yourself lost inside     |
|      | the albumÆs peak and longest cut. The carnivalesque, freaky intro    |
|      | gives way to blackened riffing that drives the song in the most      |
|      | absurd way, mixing slow guitar parts with sudden rhythm changes and  |
|      | militaristic beat with energetic drumming. Running around 11         |
|      | minutes, this carves a niche for larger epics for Hail Spirit Noir   |
|      | and the albumÆs highlight. The Cannibal tribes come from the Sea     |
|      | paints a gloomy atmosphere showcasing a cleverly used reverb effect  |
|      | that midway transforms into a hellish stream of layered guitar       |
|      | leads. Towards the end of the song, a well crafted short solo        |
|      | erupts into a violent blast beat, seconds before the closing number  |
|      | How to fly in Blackness tightens its mournful grip for one last      |
|      | time on the listener.                                                |
|      |                                                                      |
|      | This is a very dark musical and lyrical trip, affecting listeners'   |
|      | mind and soul as every great album should. It progresses the bandÆs  |
|      | vision without losing any of their originality and most probably,    |
|      | Mayhem in Blue will be like nothing you have heard this year. Above  |
|      | all, there is something special in watching a band evolve. Hail      |
|      | Spirit Noir has come a long way the last 5 years, getting a better   |
|      | grip of their art, song by song, album by album. Mayhem in Blue is   |
|      | their audacious step to become one of the best metal bands out       |
|      | there. Just listen.                                                  |
|      |                                                                      |
