Shaytan - Chapter One - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
Reviews coming soon
About this product
Chapter One is the debut album by the southwestern German doomsters Shaytan, though technically it's not their first because the band was previously known as Demon Incarnate and have three full-lengths and one EP to their credit. However, with a recent line-up change, most notably the addition of the talented vocalist Julian who replaced their former female singer, they decided to make a fresh start with a new name. And one can certainly hear that the guys are not newbies. They deliver raw, no-bullshit traditional doom metal, dwelling mostly in mid tempos with occasional slowdowns and accelerations. With the appropriate dirt under their fingernails, they have created a solid foundation that draws from the primordial sludge of classic '70s heavy rock bands like Black Sabbath and Pentagram, the '80s and '90s doom of legendary acts like Trouble, Candlemass, The Obsessed and Solitude Aeturnus, while also displaying strong similarities to newer purveyors of the genre, particularly Nomad Son and Krux. Their riffs are heavy and the songs are replete with captivating choruses, often supplemented with oriental influences. There is not a single dull moment on this album, and at a mere 34 minutes, it doesn't overstay it's welcome. The warm production rounds it up perfectly, resulting in a most pleasant listening experience.

![I Solisti - Works Dedicated to I Solis 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/95f88c7e-beb5-4a8b-b26b-4242f9acb10e.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The paths of I SOLISTI and Frederik Neyrinck first crossed in 2011. The ensemble immediately recognized the artistic talent of the Flemish composer and together they set up a long-term collaboration. The fruits thereof can be heard on this album, which consists exclusively of works by Neyrinck, written especially for the ensemble. This album also marks a new chapter in their ongoing partnership, since he joined the artistic team of I SOLISTI as Artist in Residence, for a period of four years. With I SOLISTI, Neyrinck developed his affinity for wind instruments - a fascination from an early age and a common thread through his entire oeuvre. He's always searching for refined combinations between instruments in the ensemble. This emphasis on the mixing of timbres from woodwinds and brass was also a key consideration while compiling the album and paints a heterogenous picture. In Suite Homo Deus Frankenstein (2020) a playful and colorful sound is heard, whereas the abstract musical material in Axe-I (2013), Gestalt I (2011), Gestalt V (2012), 1. Echo der Gestalt I (2011) and 2. Echo der Gestalt I (2011) produces strongly different results. In doing so, this album manages to capture the many facets of Neyrinck's work.
