                                                                 44:45


        SwedenÆs Dead Kosmonaut is pretty clearly still feeling out their place
        in the heavy metal pantheon. On debut full length Expect Nothing and
        last yearÆs standout Rekviem EP, theyÆve played a mix of smooth trad,
        doom, stoner metal, and even the driftier side of 70s prog rock. At its
        worst, it has been more than passable û the band is full of veterans,
        led by NifelheimÆs Per ôHellbutcherö Gustavsson on almost shockingly
        smooth clean vocals û but when itÆs been good, itÆs been downright
        magnificent.
        Gravitas continues this slight disparity in goodness-to-greatness. Here,
        the good material is so good as to almost render the rest worse sounding
        than it is in reality, which is admittedly more about perception than
        fault. But one thing that canÆt be escaped is that the differences û
        both in style and quality û tend to become a bit of a distraction,
        leading one to just want to get to the beastly tracks quicker, even
        though thereÆs nothing outright bad standing in the way.
        This impression is undoubtedly amplified by the albumÆs somewhat awkward
        start. Opener ôBlack Tongue Tarö is a plodding affair and features
        extremely monotonous drumming that becomes distracting during less dense
        moments. Like every song here, however, it still features dynamite
        singing from Gustavsson and some really slick leads. With a little more
        refinement, the song would have been a perfectly low key opener, which
        is more than can be said for the ensuing ôIscariotÆs Dream,ö which is
        simultaneously a better song than the opener but less fitting for the
        album with itÆs stoner vibes and Halford-ish vocal swagger.
        From there, things pick up dramatically, but letÆs skip right to the end
        instead, because the albumÆs nearly 13-minute, eponymous closer ôDead
        Kosmonautö is downright massive. The short ôPart 1ö eases the listener
        in with choirs before ôPart 2,ö the proper song, bursts into existence
        with huge doomy riffs and a particularly satisfying organ. From there,
        itÆs long, minimal stretches where the vocals do much of the dynamic
        heavy lifting, or long stretches of solos that also tell a captivating
        story. The song even gets rather Floydian at times, particularly when
        the leads go for a decidedly Gilmour touch over metal shred. A great
        example of how heaviness comes in all forms, this one.
        Nothing else on the album quite reaches this level, which again creates
        a bit of a ôget on with itö feeling on repeat listens, but things are
        much better after the first couple of tracks. Beginning with ôVanitatis
        Profeta,ö Gravitas takes on a more serious tone befitting of the bandÆs
        talents and the albumÆs best song, sometimes with a little more soaring
        and righteousness, and sometimes with more in the menace department. Of
        special note is ôHeaven / Hell,ö 11 minutes that manage to call-to-mind
        everything from the quieter sides of Maiden and Manilla Road to the more
        melancholy side of old prog rock (complete with ample soloing, of
        course). Like the closer, this track proves that Dead Kosmonaut is at
        its best when things are given spaceùa whole lot of space.
        Some listeners will likely appreciate everything about the albumÆs bits
        of variety, and they wouldnÆt necessarily be wrong, but thereÆs no
        denying that the recordÆs somewhat awkward start detracts from its
        absolutely stunning finish. As stated above, nothing Dead Kosmonaut does
        here (or previous) is remotely bad. But if they can find a way to
        harness the power of the closer or the title track from last yearÆs EP
        for a full album, itÆll be a bonafide hot damn moment. Until then,
        Gravitas provides plenty to casually enjoy and more than a little to
        love.
