RED HARVEST (NOR) “Cold Dark Matter” (2000) [NOCTURNAL ART PRODUCTIONS]
Red Harvest is definitively a “cult” band: they started their career in 1989 and until now they have already released 5 full length albums and 2 mCD. Still now, they’re one of the most innovative and creative band I’ve ever heard and, honestly, they deserves even more attention all around the world even if their works are absolutely “not commercial”, if you know what I mean.
Their sound is difficult to label into a merely style as this band was able to create their own unique style and every album is as much outstanding and inspired as their previous precious works.
Maybe only a new description for every album should suits better this band. The song’s title “Death in cyborg era” seems to suggest the best one for their last album as “Cold Dark Matter” is an extremely cold cyber music.
Of course, it’s possible to listen to different approaches in their music from the altered industrial to violent death metal ones but as I've already explained you what makes Red Harvest so inimitable is their ability in mixing all this: they go beyond music clichés and have been started in doing this before everyone else.
The new album doesn’t make any exception to this: it’s a tunnel entering into modern psycho killer minds and ending at the edge of craziness into the sub-zero unknown: the cyborg era! What you will listen to is about their really sharp thoughts and mutant sounds!
In connection with this, the Norwegian artist René Hamel (www.spacebrain.no) realized the really ingenious layout for the new album: a virtual entering in the cyber’s world.
Black metal fans will be also glad to know their hero, Fenriz, appears, as guest vocalist, in some tracks of “Cold Dark Matter”: it’s up to you to recognize which ones I’m talking about and if you’re a big fans you’ll surely guess it right!
Everyone should have at least one album of this significant band in their music collection: who already has one was surely waiting for this new album too; if you don’t know Red Harvest (how is that possible?!?) I advice you to start from their last great and most violent release and then your burning thirst for creativity will surely yearn for more!
