Genosha 9:20 Release Notes: http://www.stringmetal.com/judgementday/ It is almost impossible to talk about stringed instruments in heavy music without mentioning Apocalyptica. While the Finns may have pioneered cello metal, their clumsy crossover attempts by way of including popular vocalists make one yearn for ars gratia artis. Judgement Day is that art, even if they don’t spell their name the way James Cameron, Christian theologists, or the WWE would. According to the extensive liner notes, there were initial conflicting visions in every aspect of the album, from the songwriting to the cover painting. In both cases, three minds were at work, collaborating as a trio for the first time. Musically, it blossomed from an in-studio mixture of improvisations, amidst compositions loosely hammered out in their practice space. As time progressed, they relied more on “spontaneous inspiration†and “abandoned traditional song structures and rulesâ€. The three painters were charged by the band to “create a piece of art with no predetermined visionâ€, and were encouraged to continuously layer each other’s work—to not perseverate over any particular area. The end result in both cases is beautiful, terrifying, humorous, and above all else, balanced. Siblings Anton and Lewis Patzner got their start on the streets of Berkeley, California some eight years ago, and wrote much of the music for their first release, Dark Opus, to be played as such. Now with metal drummer Jon Bush in the mix, they add a deeper metallic layer to Lewis’ conservatory-trained cello and Anton’s Bright Eyes-tempered violin. The music they craft is bold as it is delicate, demonstrating true innovation with genuine promise for the future. Different folks will have their own song preferences, but the album is strong. I only suggest avoiding “Improvisation†because, although the end product of their work is excellent, listening to the process felt a bit less compelling. Be sure to check out the hilarious video for “Cobra Strike†to see how the world might look if video game ‘heroes’ played violins instead of guitars. And according to the date on the pseudo-authentic home video in the opening scene, it’s from the future. Now that’s progressive.
