Reviews on "Apeiron" (Metalizer Magazine #3)
Category: Music

Frankly speaking, I’ve expected from the young Siberian band with a ‘speaking’ name Welicoruss everything from Finntroll bold plagiarism to parody versions of some Russian folk metal musicians. The result, to my greatest surprise, came out as a real revelation.

This worthy band has got the better of all the others who are only imitating the EU monsters of metal. Their new album is not a feeble attempt to catch up with some unbeatable death metallers, yet the outstanding and unique masterpiece which I’d compare only with that of the Finnish great talent Tuomas Holopainen. Although one can easily see the difference between Nightwish and Welicoruss style, I mean the unique sound of the instrumental constituent – the Dark Passion Play. I mean that normal, worthy, beautiful music mix that doesn’t bring dissonance of rasping guitars and cracking bassdrum and gives the listeners the atmosphere of harmony - so rare in modern metal.

To be more consistent, the first thing I praise Welicoruss for is their ability to overcome the trouble noticed by the sound producers guru Paul White. He advised to make the keyboards sound as if to place them at intuitive perception level, to reach the sound masking effect, because of the rasping audio frequencies which can spoil any mix. The choice of the right timbres is an extremely difficult task; the keyboards should be transparent, light and atmospherical. Although in my opinion only Tuomas Holopainen and John Lord managed to reach such heights, the Welicoruss’ keyboards in Apeiron sound splendid and full of harmony with the guitars. I don’t know whether the musicians do have the classic musical education, the result is nonetheless breathtaking.

Fortunately, the guitars also don’t disappoint us in the huge amount of sordid riffs and pseudo-speed solo. In Dark Passion Play the guitar usually plays only formal part, yet how professional it sounds! It blends with mutual harmony and doesn’t pretend to be the main instrument in the orchestra. Indeed, the ability to become a part of the band instead of running races within it, to run into the confluent sound assonance is also a great talent!

The rhythm section is also devoid of the frequent young metal bands’ drawback – the cracking bassdrum… The only small imperfection of Apeiron is not very accurate vocals. Yet it’s my personal opinion as I don’t appreciate neither scream no growl a lot.

The orchestrations are rather substantial and skilfully made. The impressive choice of instruments, the volume of sound, the great diapason and appropriate passionale crescendo contribute to the whole rather positive impression of the album.

Since Apeiron release I admire, value and respect Welicoruss and listen to them with great pleasure. My general evaluation of Apeiron is 5/5.

WELICORUSS LOOKING FOR GIGS IN EU (Summer 2010)

Having successfully released their 2nd full-length album Apeiron (by
CD-Maximum, available now worldwide) Welicoruss are now planning their
European tour. It will take place in Summer 2010 after the all-Russian tour
in support of the new album.

As Alexey Boganov says, "We kindly ask EU booking agents and promoters to
feel free to contact our management - the summer is not fully booked for us
yet, we're ready to discuss more tour/gig/festival possibilities. We also
encourage our fans who are constantly asking about seeing us live to be more
enthusiastic and contact their local promoters - we're ready to tour
everywhere".
