Info
What do VANCOUVER have to do with bands like KROKUS, CELTIC FROST, MESSIAH, CORONER or GURD? Well, firstly the origin, as newcomers VANCOUVER were also born in Switzerland, just like the musicians of the afore-mentioned cult bands. Secondly VANCOUVER continue the tradition of first-class acts being born in this country on a regular basis. Musically this quintet doesn’t have a lot to do with the bands mentioned at the beginning.
VANCOUVER should rather feel comfortable in the niche of Metal that is occupied by praised formations such as CULT OF LUNA or ISIS. Due to the high level of “The Moment” it shouldn’t be too difficult to get a nice place in this small but fine marginal field. Even after numerous spins it is still hard to find a description for this style, as the ingredients range from Doom Metal to Hardcore to Stoner Rock and are brewed into a boiling soup. Songs such as the opening and blazing “Maraschino”, the killer ear-wig “Apollo” or the blessed “The Detachment” speak a clear and unmistakeable language.
Despite the slow basic tempo of the single songs, VANCOUVER amazingly know how to build up brutish pressure and toss the listener through the room. Only in the closing track “The Portrait” singer Michael and his brave comrades leave the sledgehammer outside and walk musical paths that seem similar to those of RADIOHEAD. A great final a perfectly suitable contrast to the eight preceding tracks which present the listener with an emotional rollercoaster ride. The surprising thing about the Swiss’ debut is the fact that all of the songs were laid down live in the studio within two days only. But I guess that it is this fact that is responsible for the unadulterated and incredible power of “ – The Moment”.
The only negative thing for most interested people should be the fact that “The Moment” was only released on the two Independent labels Division Records (Switzerland) and Deep Send Records (Canada) and that it should be hard to get this masterpiece from your trusted dealer without any problems. A glance at the listed websites should provide a solution, though, and all I can do is promise that the efforts will definitely pay off. Due to the effort shown on “The Moment” VANCOUVER can look into a bright future, and someone who is able to record an album with so much life’s blood more than deserves it.

(Spanish only, sorry)
Llevan seis años tocando y cinco discos a cuestas. Tienen una capacidad de reinventarse que asombra y conservan un estilo para tocar que pocos han logrado desde que partió el 2000, a tal punto de no poder definirlos ni ser predecidos. Este año después de "Coma" lanzan un trabajo mucho más fuerte que el anterior y con más autoridad para desenfrenar los sintetizadores, consolidar la agrupación con una excelente batería y dejar bien posicionado el nombre de diAblo con un "Seiseiseis".
Pero eso no es suficiente para que este disco lance llamas desde los mismos infiernos, sino también mantener algunos patrones presentes en su anterior discografía. Los tracks que sobrepasan los siete minutos, ese post rock oscuro y la oscilación de no saber cómo terminarán los temas con sus drásticos cambios hacen que este trabajo siga con la misma identidad que en un principio. Algo así como el efecto Lynch, donde todo comienza con un día de sol y luego de la normalidad de una escena se pasa a una incertidumbre que te lleva hasta la sensación pura del miedo.
diAblo también trabaja con eso y provoca al seguir su pauta marcada de orden en los tiempos, pero a su vez demostrando un caos en los sintetizadores que no son fáciles de digerir para todos los oídos.
Dentro de los seis temas escuchamos programaciones y muchos cambios rítmicos que se soportan en la batería, la guitarra que a veces comienza lenta y luego pasa a rasgueos rápidos y el bajo a pulso que marca quiebres. En "Ataque Carpeano" se escuchan los galopes de un caballo, las marimbas y un saxo desenfrenado que dejan un buen sello. En otros Ervo Pérez toma el control de la voz aportando el lado más crudo con sus gritos “escucho voces / sudan las manos / tiembla el cuerpo / veo gusanos / veo serpientes alucinando” cuando comienza "Belleza mi ser". "Cruz de Carroña" en medio de la calma surge también este lado más pesado y denso de diAblo con duros coros y frases que escupen rabia con “esta es la fiesta hereje de mi gente”.
El grupo y en particular este disco no es de muchas repasadas, simplemente lo entendiste o no lo pescaste y sus estados musicales hay que tomarlos como un todo y no como si fuesen varias canciones en una. Lo mismo pasa en las presentaciones; caíste en una especie de “trance” y dejaste que tu cabeza se manifestara o no aguantaste más y te paraste del asiento. Una provocación que la actual formación integrada por Ervo Pérez (sampler y voz), Cristian Sánchez (Micro Korg), Gonzalo Gutiérrez (batería), Daniel Llermaly (bajo) y Antonio Aldunate (guitarra) está consciente y no pretende cambiar.
Hay mucha fé en el trabajo que hacen, porque los que se deleitan con este quinteto confían que el grupo no irá en descenso, sino por el contrario seguirán manteniendo un sello que los identifica en relación a otras bandas y se los reconoce por la creatividad al momento de hacer un tema hipnótico y bien calculado.
Quizás a algún físico, matemático o científico loco podría caerle bien "Seiseiseis".

Excellent debut album CD from this french "Rock'n'RollMegaGroovyDuo". "Souvenirs" is produced by Mr. Billy Anderson. A bass/voice + drums two-piece playing fresh, cool, original music, with so much feeling. Just imagine an impossible mixture of Queens Of The Stone Age, Man Is The Bastard, Fantomas and Melvins!!!

info
The strange band name, the equally weird song titles and the whole concept of playing 26 songs (plus an outro) in under 40 minutes should be proof enough. Setting themselves in the middle of the triangle formed by Napalm Death, VoiVod and Autechre, and naming inspirations from metal, techno and classical music, Fantastikol Hole deliver maybe short but certainly eclectic noise attacks.
Acoustic drums alternate with beatbox rhythms, the songs are generally kept at a fast pace, although the parallels to the grindcore genre are limited mostly to the short running time. The devilish beats are topped by angular metal chords that remind of math metal bands like Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge and Coalesce, although Fantastikol Hole never pay attention to typical song structures and most of the time end their tracks after one and a half minutes. Never mind that though, because the songs follow each other nearly seamlessly, making for a non-stop forty minutes listening pleasure.
At times you get swept away by truly inspiring moments, as with the grooving Rock And Die, Suffer And Roll, but generally it's just a "lie back and be surprised" attitude that works best with this crazy post grind math core prog metal band.
