Never understood how these guys were labeled 'emo'. First heard them on the radio (thats right the radio) here in Aus about 2 or 3 years ago, and I heard In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3, they played it in full, and I was blown away. Yeah Claudios voice is high pitched but its sure unique. The first thought was prog metalish, but there are so many styles in C&Cs music. And for some reason everytime Im listening to them I can help but think about the x-box game Halo, especially the 'man your battle stations' line in that song.
Anyway bought In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 thought it was a kick ass album, bought Second Stage Turbine Blade, didnt like it as much (still dont), I have their Live DVD on the way from the US, and have listened to Burning Star IV a few times. I have to say the production I feel isnt as good as IKSOSE3, but for some reason it gets better as the album progresses.
There are some guitar solos in the first few tracks which are burried deep in the mix, but it still sounds really good. The lyrics at times have very violent overtones, and the story is very good too.
Its one of those releases that you can enjoy on its own, but if you get the taste, check out the other 2 albums to find out more about whats going on.
I still think that IKSOSE3 is better that Burning Star 4, but all 3 of the albums are worth checking out, the website has samples to get some idea, but definitly check them out if it sparks an interest.
SIDE NOTE - Since this is labelled as a Volume 1, leads me to believe (duhh :shock: ) therell be a volume 2, and would that be before or after the first part of the story? (C&Cs first album was Second Stage Turbine Blade, which is the 2nd part of the story, next was In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3, which as you can guess is part 3, now they have released Burning Star IV, etc. However they are still to release part 1)
Yes, the album titles are confusing.
