AREKNAMÉS

3.5 stars. AREKNAMES lists over 50 bands in the liner notes that they thank. And at the top of the list is VDGG which is no coincidence, as their sound comes through more than any other band on this release, especially the vocals. Mellotron is very much a part of every track (they thank ANEKDOTEN) you sure don't have to listen carefully for it, it's out front and center. There is a dark and heavy sound that comes through quite often, heavy bass and guitar, reminding me of BLACK SABBATH (they thank them too).The organ plays an important role as well.

They thank ATOMIC ROOSTER and IL BALLETO DI BRONZO. Enough name dropping, but if you like 70's sounding music with mellotron and organ that is on the darker side this may be for you.

It just didn't do a lot for me.
