Heidenreich
A Death Gate Cycle
[Napalm]
This is Peter from Abigor's side-project, an uninteresting side-project
at that. A running time of twenty-five minutes does not add anything to
the disc either. The music is actually similar to Abigor, but with a
different (although again similar) vocalist, some further
experimentation, and what seems to be a drum machine. A few lengthy
synth bits round up the bland running time of this disc.
Let it be said up front that I truly do not appreciate this CD. It seems
to be another way to cash in on Abigor's success, or to go even further,
a way for Peter to fill up the void that may be his ego. It seems that
many artists in today's scene, after achieving some level of success,
find the need to release pathetic "side projects" to prove themselves
for whatever reasons. This is really no different.
Abigor style riffs, similar vocals……but all done in a far less
interesting and down tuned in terms of talent fashion. Some of the
keyboard work also ends up being terribly goofy sounding. Is this worth
picking up? Absolutely not! It's releases like this that simply clog the
underground, and prevent people from discovering the various gems that
lie out there. Stick with Abigor Peter, and quit fucking wasting the
time and money of people who would actually purchase something like this
(I on the other hand, just traded for it :P)
