- Dual female vocals (from both the lovely Kemi Vita & Judith Stuber), the occasional melodic growls & clear pipes, the Goth vibe, and the neo-classically tinged melodies; does this sound like a recipe for clonage? No! Satyrian takes all these elements and molds them into a structurally sound song format along with the technical approach to create a sound of their own, combining the atmosphere of Winterlong, the Sisters of Mercy, late-period Fates Warning, and Children of Bodom, with a four-person vocal presence to add different personalities to the mix.
- Beyond that, SATYRIAN is quite an amalgamation. On guitars and as the composer we have Jan “Orrki” Yrlund (LACRIMOSA, DELAIN, IMPERIA), bass by Milos Marisevic ((DANSE MACABRE), drums and percussions provided by Merijn Mol (DANSE MACABRE, THE DREAMSIDE) and then we have vocals. Okay. *deep breath* Kemi Vita (THE DREAMSIDE) and Judith “Ciara” Stuber (EVERON, guest appearances with ANCIENT RITES and DARK AT DAWN) provide the female vocals, while growls come from Roman Schonsee (PYOGENESIS, SILKE BISCHOFF, 18SUMMERS) and Oliver Phillips (EVERON) contributes both clean vocals male vocals, guitar and piano.
REVIEW:
Formed in late 2002 from the ashes of three album veterans “Danse Macabre”, Satyrian hit the ground running with their new release through Lion Music. “Eternitas” is a confident collection of Gothic, darkly lyrical compositions and some beautifully orchestrated music. Elements of the Sisters Of Mercy, Evanescence and a touch of the Rammstein kind of intensity blend into an album of genuinely original ideas. The symphonic quality of the music, mixed with heavy end guitar lines and twin female lead vocals brings to mind a 2006 version of the Sisters… “This Corrosion” in many ways but has the added dimension of more reflective, almost ethereal piano lines that keep things very interesting indeed.
Whilst “Eternitas” as a piece of work sits firmly in the Gothic genre, the clever use of vocal style in the title track pits the female lead against interspersions of death metal grunt and yet a track like “Bridge Of Death” has an almost medieval/folk resonance and sitting right next to the double kick drum barrage of “Fall From Grace”. Where the band score highly is with the production, musically they’re faultless but the depth of the mix enhances the dynamics of the overall songwriting quality, really quite original.
I’m a bit of a virgin in respect of modern day goth rock, but if this is an example of the genre, then it deserves a little more investigation and may open my ears to a style that I’ve sadly overlooked. Clever music by a talented group of musicians and a worthy listen if you need a break from the more mainstream.
