Neka – Gestalt (2023)
Neka – Gestalt (2023) - https://www.femforgacs.hu/neka-gestalt-2023/ -
Lépcsőfokok? Demók? EP-k? Mi a fenének van erre szüksége bárkinek is, ha rögtön a dolgok sűrűjébe vethetjük magunkat! Nem szórakozok én sem, az orosz Neka nevű projekt Alexander L. egyszemélyes alkotásaként azonnal magával ragadott. A Gestalt-ról első körben az jelenthető ki bizonyosan, hogy nem veszik el róla a reflektorfényt mindenféle zenekartörténetek, háttérmesék, mivel az égvilágon semmilyen információt nem lehet bezsebelni róla.
Elvileg 2015-ben mĂ©g valami hip-hop lemezt is megjelentetett az Ăşriember… „Itt van, hallgasd!” hozzáállással közzĂ©tett dalcsokorrĂłl van szĂł, ha lehet csokornak nevezni három szerzemĂ©nyt. Persze ezek nem mĂ©rik szűkmarkĂşan az idĹ‘t, ami funeral death/doom lĂ©vĂ©n meglepĹ‘nek sem nevezhetĹ‘. Szokás szerint persze nem ilyen egyszerű a kĂ©plet, hiszen egyĂ©ni projekt lĂ©vĂ©n egyĂ©ni megoldásokat követ, sajátos Ă©rzĂ©svilágot kĂván átadni, vagy pusztán lelkes diákkĂ©nt lejegyzetelni, hogy abbĂłl bárki okulhasson. Akad itt fekete fĂ©m Ă©s rengeteg furcsa zörej, dark ambient megmozdulás. Hosszas akusztikus merengĂ©sek, tiszta Ă©nek Ă©s gyomros hörgĂ©s, post-metal maszatolás, de bevethetjĂĽk titkos fegyverkĂ©nt a doomgaze kifejezĂ©st is a vĂ©geredmĂ©ny tekintetĂ©ben. Persze ezek a legkevĂ©sbĂ© sem számĂtanak, Ă©rdekelnek, ha megpillantom a Gestalt borĂtĂłját, egyszerűen tudom, Ă©rzem, hogy csak valami kĂĽlönleges Ă©lmĂ©ny várhat rám minden egyes alkalommal, pedig azt sem tudom pontosan, mit ábrázol, csupán hangulatot áraszt.

ĂŤgy van ez a lemez három monumentális szerzemĂ©nyĂ©vel is, melyek közĂĽl az elsĹ‘ a Dysthymia bĹ‘ negyed Ăłrájával. LĂ©gies, de fullasztĂł párában ĂşszĂł akusztikával kezdĂĽnk, melybe a klasszikusnak mondhatĂł funeral doom pengetĂ©sek helyett egy erĹ‘teljes post, black metalos álmodozás szĂłl bele pillanatokon belĂĽl. Tiszta, kellemes dallamokat szállĂtĂł Ă©nek szűrĹ‘dik át a rezdĂĽlĂ©sek tengerĂ©n, hogy aztán nĂ©mi ambient közjátĂ©k után ismĂ©t ködbe borĂtsa az elmĂ©nk. Hiába nincsenek markáns gitárriffek, hiába faĂ©k egyszerűsĂ©gű minden, nekem azonnal egy olyan műfaji alapvetĂ©s ugrott be rĂłla, mint a Pantheist O Solitude lemeze. Nem tudom, hogy Alexander mennyire ismeri, kedveli Kostas Panagiotou mester anyagait, de az idĹ‘vel erĹ‘sebbĂ© válĂł black metal rĂ©szek kivĂ©telĂ©vel igencsak sok párhuzamot lehet vonni. Mivel a Pantheist ezen lemeze nálam benne van a top 10-ben funeral doomot illetĹ‘en, Ăgy termĂ©szetesen ezt nem panasznak szánom. Na szĂłval, Ă©rkezik nĂ©mi fekete muzsika Ă©s megjelenik a hörgĂ©s-károgás az anyagon. Valamennyire fel is pörgĂĽnk, de az erĹ‘ helyett folyamatosan a harmĂłniák Ă©s dallamok uralkodnak, legyen bármennyire zord Ă©s kilátástalan az alaphangulat. HullámzĂł, hipnotikus lĂĽktetĂ©sek, fokozatos Ă©pĂtkezĂ©s a csĂşcspont felĂ©: nagyszerű dalĂrásnak lehetĂĽnk fĂĽltanĂşi.
youtube
Nincs ez máskĂ©nt a maga 11 percĂ©vel a lemez legrövidebb tĂ©tele cĂmĂ©rt indulĂł Anhedonia esetĂ©ben sem, amiben felerĹ‘södik a gitár szerepköre: bĂłlogatásra ingerel, dĂszĂt, vezĂ©nyel, miközben a billentyűk a háttĂ©rben cukrosbácsi mĂłdjára osztogatják a kĂĽlönfĂ©le kĂsĂ©rteties hangokat. A basszus egĂ©szen doomos felfogásban fogja a kezĂĽnket a dalban, de elsĹ‘ pillanattĂłl kezdve Ă©rzĹ‘dik, hogy ez nem áll távol egy depresszĂv black kinyilatkoztatástĂłl sem. A sejtĂ©s az Anhedonia felĂ©tĹ‘l válik meggyĹ‘zĹ‘dĂ©ssĂ©, amikor a károgás mellĂ© nĂ©mi tempĂł is társul. Hangulatos szerzemĂ©ny, de valahogy a kĂ©t nagyágyĂş mellett egy kicsit kevesebbnek Ă©reztem. Ehhez lehet hozzájárult az egyetlen negatĂv gondolatom is az összkĂ©p tekintetĂ©ben: a Gestaltot egy olyan embernek kellett volna mĂ©g kĂ©zbe vennie, aki hangzásban közelebb tudja hozni a finom megoldásokat a karcosabb zenĂ©vel. Ezen a tĂ©ren akadnak arányossági problĂ©mák, bár ez nem biztos, hogy mást is zavarna.
Joggal merĂĽl fel a kĂ©rdĂ©s a leĂrtak alapján, hogy mĂ©gis hol a fenĂ©ben van az elsĹ‘nek benyögött funeral doom? Na, ez Ă©rkezik meg a zárĂł, szintĂ©n negyed Ăłrás játĂ©kidĹ‘höz közelĂtĹ‘ Mortido tĂşlvilági hangjaival Ă©s lassĂş, kimĂ©rt melankĂłliájával. Talán ez a kiadvány legjobb tĂ©tele, de ezt nehezen tudnám eldönteni. Nem egyszerű feladatot vesz magára, aki át akarja rágni magát a Gestalt-on, de ezt nem a zenei összetettsĂ©ge okozza, hanem folyamatos sĂşlya, amit nagyon gyorsan megoszt velĂĽnk. A maga mĂłdján szĂ©psĂ©ges alkotás, aminek semmibĹ‘l jött mivolta egy kicsit pozitĂv Ă©rzĂ©sekkel is feltöltött. Akad mĂ©g a zene világában Ă©rdemes felfedezni valĂł Ă©s nem felesleges az állandĂł kutatásom, keresgĂ©lĂ©sem az ilyen albumok után.

Et Moriemur Produce Epic Mass of Misery and Death
 ~By Willem Verhappen~ Â
Recently I made an important decision. A decision about my funeral. Like nearly every decision I ever make, it’s related to music. I recently decided that Epigrammata, the third album by Czech doomers ET MORIEMUR shall be the soundtrack of my inevitable descent into nothingness.
Transcending Obscurity is not known for their boring releases. When they release a record that is based on a Requiem (Mass for the dead), you know it will be something special. The result is a funeral death doom monster which is as brutal as it is haunting. Prepare for a masterclass in death and the ancient rituals to go with it.
youtube
The opening track "Introitus" manages to set the mood immediately. Solemn synths paint a brooding picture, while the spoken word of Kostas Panagiotou, whom we know of that other Transcending Obscurity doom monster Towards Atlantis Lights, transports us to a long gone era. Bow your head, for the Mass has begun.
In the following 50 minutes we are presented with funeral doom at its best. The songs crawl forward in a slow, but majestic pace, while vocalist ZdenÄ›k NevÄ›lĂk bares his emotions in every syllable he sings, moans, growls or screams. This is done mostly in Latin and ancient Greek. The use of these dead languages strengthens the feeling of being present at a funeral Mass. Because the use of English lyrics is sparse, it doesn’t feel out of place, but only emphasizes the passages.
'Epigrammata' represents our attempt to cope with the dying or death of those we loved. To create a solemn and classical atmosphere we used lyrics in ancient Greek (the title itself means epigrams) and in Latin, more precisely from the Mass for the dead – the album follows the typical Requiem structure, i.e. Introitus, Requiem Aeternum, Dies Irae etc. -- and of course the traditional, unisono male Gregorian chant.'  (Et Moriemur)
Musically, each song is given enough time to grow and build up to its climax. Even though the guitars play an important role on this record, there is also enough room for long-spun classical-oriented parts, where the guitars and drums merely have a supporting role. It is in these moments that Epigrammata shows its true brilliance. The band weaves the symphonic elements with their funeral doom in ways that Dimmu Borgir wishes they could. This creates an organic mixture which fans of both funeral doom and symphonic metal will appreciate.
Although there is a clear theme and structure on this album, there is a lot of variation between the songs. Some songs feel peaceful, such as "Agnus Dei," which features some hypnotizing recitations, while others hit you more straight in the face. "Dies Irae" is a good example of this, but also "Communio," which even features some blast beats! As the record progresses, the songs get darker and darker until it reaches its pitch black climax with "In Paradisum." The short outro serves as a welcome return to the normal world.
It must be said that this isn’t a perfect record. It’s hard to ignore the tacky sections that pop up from time to time, giving a bit of a Ghost-like feel. Also, the organ is sometimes a bit too present in the mix. This wouldn’t be much of a problem if it didn’t sound so cheap. Luckily, these are just a few minor imperfections on the otherwise magnificent canvas that is Epigrammata. Fans of My Dying Bride and Shape Of Despair will certainly enjoy this masterpiece of misery and death.
Follow The Band.
