NEON SYNTHESIS - 'Alchemy of Rebirth'
Vote: 5/6

Das wird ein internes Rennen: Am 27. Februar 2009 werden zwei Bands ihre Werke veröffentlichen, die ziemlich ähnlich sind. Da sind zum einen Richard Christ und zum anderen Neon Synthesis. Beide Bands stammen aus Italien, beide Bands sind auf Subsound Records/Killerpool vertrieben, und beide wurden von Victor Love von Dope Stars Inc. produziert. Und dennoch sind da ein paar kleine Unterschiede, die Neon Synthesis zu einer richtigen druckvollen Kapelle avancieren, während Richard Christ doch in die Richtung Glam-Metal zusteuert. Das ist beispielsweise gleich der Opener „Nihil“, der mit einem richtigem Wumm beginnt. Von da an ist eigentlich klar, wohin Neon Synthesis hinwill. In erster Linie sind es ein treibendes Schlagwerk und die Wände aus Gitarrensounds, die Neon Synthesis auszeichnen. Doch dann sind da auch die wunderbaren Synthie-Einspielungen, die den eigentlich erdigen Stücken auflockern und etwas eigenartig fluffiges verleihen. Schön ist das auch bei „Artificial Paradise“ zu hören. Das Stück funktioniert ganz eigenartig. Da sind eben jene wuchtigen Gitarren und die gröhlende Stimme von Sänger Johnny Thyper – klingt alles ziemlich heavy – und dann kommen diese flirrenden Elektronikspielereien. Mit „Catharsis“ bekommt „Alchemy Of Rebirth“ einen sehr ätherischen Schluss, der zeigt, was die Jungs wirklich drauf haben. Neon Synthesis und Richard Christ – wer wird wohl das interne Rennen machen? Fest steht, dass sich aus dem Hause Subsounds Records zwei vielversprechende Bands angekündigt haben, von denen allerdings Neon Synthesis einfach reifer und auch vielschichtiger klingen.

NEON SYNTHESIS - Alchemy Of Rebirth -
Vote: 7/10

Mit NEON SYNTHESIS stellt sich eine interessante Band aus Italien nun auch offiziell in Europa vor. Im Jahr 2004 gegründet, folgte 2006 mit "Our Empty Rooms" ein in Eigenregie produziertes und vermarktetes Debütalbum, das im Industrial-/Gothic-Underground erste positive Kritiken einheimste. Diese positiven Eindrücke führten auch dazu, dass mit "Alchemy Of Rebirth" nun auch das erste offizielle Album der vier Italiener vorliegt, das auf dem kleinen italienischen Label Killer Pool Records erscheint und von Victor Love (DOPE STARS INC.) produziert wurde.
Das Album legt von Beginn an gleich ordentlich los, Songs wie der Opener "Nihil" und auch die folgenden Songs "Visions From Above" und "Betrayal" vereinen von den ersten Klängen an alle Stärken von NEON SYNTHESIS. Die Italiener präsentieren einen unheimlich dichten Sound, der durch druckvolle Gitarren, treibenden Drums und melodisch-eingängigen Synthieflächen geprägt ist. Gerade diese elektronischen Synthiepassagen sind es, die die Songs sehr frisch und lebendig wirken lassen und einen sehr angenehmen Gegenpol zu den Gitarren darstellen. Besonders auf dem etwas ruhigerem, doch gleichzeitig hymnenhaften "Solitude + Fear" kommt dies besonders stark und positiv zum Ausdruck. Auch die Vocals präsentieren sich abwechslungsreich und vielschichtig - zwar überwiegend derb und aggressiv, gibt es immer wieder fast schon einschmeichelnde Passagen, wie beispielsweise im Rahmen von "Artifical Paradise" oder "The Sweetest Nightmare".
So hat man es bei "Alchemy Of Rebirth" mit einer rundum frischen und abwechslungsreichen Scheibe zu tun, mit der NEON SYNTHESIS ihren Bekanntheitsgrad verdientermaßen erneut steigern dürften. Unter den zehn Songs findet man quasi keine Ausfälle oder Lückenfüller und auch das abschließende und atmosphärische "Catharis" sorgt für einen angenehmen Abschluss nach knapp 45 Minuten Spielzeit. Sehr ordentliches Album!

MITHRA - Unghie Come Lame - Per essere un debutto ce n'è di carne sul fuoco! Non si può rimanere impassibili dinanzi un lavoro così variegato e così spiazzante come quello dei Mithra; se infatti l'iniziale "Asteroidi" e la successiva "Le acque nere del caos" ci fanno pensare ad un album che si muove su coordinate idm, i successivi brani del lotto presentano pattern industrial, synth dal retrogusto psichedelico, per un impasto sonoro che risulta unitario ma ad ogni modo pesante da digerire. Quello che infatti può penalizzare i Mithra è una proposta musicale per nulla semplice, una proposta pesante e non di facile presa: ci sono forse troppe idee in "Unghie come lame" e anche dopo molti ascolti si rimane disorientati da un sound apocalittico che non lascia via di uscita al povero ascoltatore.
Saggia decisione è stata quella di porre "Non sei" in chiusura di disco, i ritmi più rilassati e meno forsennati riportano lentamente alla realtà dopo un viaggio che - seppur breve - lascia molti punti interrogativi nell'ascoltatore. "Unghie come lame" non è un disco semplice, ma di certo ha dalla sua molti punti di forza: innanzitutto la cura nella ricerca dei suoni, a cui bisogna aggiungere una produzione davvero sopraffina e dei brani che - tenendo comunque conto di quanto detto finora - sapranno farsi apprezzare dagli amanti della musica d'avanguardia e senza confini.
