TAKH - TAKH (2023)

While TAKH is technically the debut album from the band, the artists behind it are known from the The Black Heart Rebellion and here are joined by Annelies Van Dinter. Together they have recently released their self-titled debut album and promoted it during this year's Dunk!Festival.

The band's music is this kind of prog rock, psychedelia, folkish post-rock music that I automatically associate with Crippled Black Phoenix. The music layer is made of heavy and crunchy guitars and well-audible drum pulse, but, while noisy, it's far from the metal-like wall of noise. This is combined with clear, rock-like mixed (or choral) vocals and results in heavy but also very much melodic compositions. It feels like heavier, darker folk rock and I appreciate this approach very much (especially in Azure Blue!). This makes it sound primal, very natural but also unnervingly gloomy with the potential for the songs to be big hits at the same time.
