Switchblade - Switchblade - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After three years of recording abstinence, Sweden's loudest trinity break the silence. In three massive compositions Switchblade takes you on a journey crashing through the walls of perceptual reality returning knee deep in loss, vengeance and death. Brittle melodies erupt into dense mass of impending doom as this beast drags it's feet out of the darkness to prevail over daylight. In just over 49 minutes Switchblade reveal their dire predictions to the masses trapped in a decaying world. Where all light collapse under the tower of their hopes and dreams. Louder than that which crashes in heaven and slow as the march of celestial time.

The wild fantasy of the early baroque period reveals itself to us in musical aggregates that are still far away from the formal cohesion of musical material. Ideas and sounds drift on a sea of virtually unlimited possibilities, delighting us with a colourful diversity that is only very gradually bound into clear structures by rational regulative forces. Munich's Johann Christoph Pez lived and worked during this fascinating time of inspired searching and experimentation. Thanks to his talent, he was able to visit the promised land of Italy, inhaled the air of the all-powerful Italian Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Lully - and left behind a twelve-part Duplex Genius, an instrumental compendium whose highly entertaining qualities are all the more enhanced by the unpredictability of events.
