Does the band not have any original ideas to print on the cover?
Well, since the CD is here, I might as well give it a listen.
IN OTHER CLIMES come from France and are releasing their second album "EMPTY BOTTLES & WASTED NIGHTS". The band plays hardcore with a (thrash) metal influence.
What the French are doing hits pretty hard from the speakers and has some interesting riffs and breakdowns, technically speaking, there's definitely something on the plate.
However, while listening to the ten songs, it becomes apparent that after a few tracks, the structure of the individual songs only differs marginally. This makes the album somewhat tedious, if not to say, at times predictable and thus boring.
The band has anger in their belly. This anger was well and powerfully captured in the studio. Technically, everything is quite solid, aside from the very similar song structures.
The band has good ideas but should work a bit more on the structures of the songs, or learn more technique, or detach themselves from metal and play old-school hardcore, or say goodbye to hardcore and play thrash metal. It lacks that certain something.
As it stands, the album is just average, but with a tendency to improve.
