Make no mistake, French trio Down To Earth doesn't make concessions or concern
itself with musical fashion on their second full-length Prisms. Revealing a
progressive interplay between aggressive rock and provocative melody, the album
revs up like a dirty shot of adrenaline and burns like alcohol on an fresh
wound. The combination of searing vocals, angular guitars and a pounding rhythm
section makes for prime moshing material. Needless to say, few bands can pull it
off this easily or this well. Shaken and stirred, this band aims to leave
bruises and change lives...not the least of all their own. Harmonized vocals
shift between a blustery bravado and edgy recklessness, running a gauntlet of
self-examination. And the music fights back with everything it's got...building,
brooding and burning right up to its finale. (DER-493)
│Even though they sound different, each song on Prisms is connected. Our overall
concept was for each song to represent a different part, a different soul, a
different color of the human experience▓ says lead vocalist Nicolas Aigrot.
│Prisms is about how we view life through different facets of our personality
(our internal prism), how we discover optimism through our ups and downs, how we
regret useless choices and try to better ourselves by finding balance and peace
of mind. The final track, Mirrors, digs deep into the fear of disappointing our
inner child by not realizing the dreams we once had▓ adds Niko.
