Two-person experimental project called Zommm shows us that in Azerbaijan, apart from the king of an alternative noise - Violet Cold - there are also serious candidades for succession. Bedcause the new album by the duo Farid Mayilov - Ramil Bayramov is filled with awesome post-metal in a modern, a bit electronic and a bit post-rock from.
The huge load of energy that Zommm's music carries is seen from the very first track. "Lights" is full of bright keys and up-lifting atmosphere and and aggressive drums forshadowing what is going to come next. Because it is just an intro, the real music conflagration comes with the slowly unveiling "The Shining of the Solar Moon". Here the guitars finally rach the noise optimum while accompnying the emotion-filled metal vocal. And it lasts with some pauses until the closing, very moody track "Dust".
And the Azeris' music is smoothed by subtle electronics without harassing our ears with raw riffs. In this aspect, it reminds me of the last year's debut by Haze of Summer. And since it was my personal post-metal album of the year then you can guess the rest.
Reality Is An Illusion" costs 5 USD.
