Album Review: Kosmograd - Self-titled
Album: Self-titled
Band: Kosmograd
Release Date: September 21, 2011
After blogging about this band way back, they are finally back with some new tunes and their first official album release (see Kosmograd Blog). Unfortunately the album consists of only 5 songs. Since it's pretty small I can give you a quick run down of the songs.
"The Weather Of Hangman" is the first track and my personal favourite of this album. The song is purely instrumental, quite long, and ebbs and flows between light and heavy parts.
"The Owl" is a song a highlighted in my original blog of Kosmograd. Well they include their best song on this album adding some polishing to it. Personally I liked the original rough demo track, but nevertheless a great song.
"Velossaraykin" is a very gritty song with an upbeat intro and some metal screaming. You'll either love it or hate.
"Cheeseburger Picnic" (really weird name) is all instrumental and is much softer kind of song than any other on the album. It's got a cool but kind of creepy guitar riff.
Finally, the album closes with "Hard Six" starts of slow but in the middle it really picks up and gets more into the typical Kosmograd style. One way of putting it, it is another song that will take you on a Journey of sorts. Overall I very much enjoy the album, but I would like more songs.
Rating: 7 of 10
