Pure Soundart are a 4 piece band based in Zug, Switzerland they formed
back in 2005 and are influenced by And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of
Dead, Sparta and At The Drive In, the band claim that they play heavy
wild rock but I would have to disagree with the first claim as I class
bands such as Slayer and Machine Head as heavy and this band are not on
patch on these bands and you would be lucky to hear a heavy riff throughout
the bands debut UK EP 'Emo Is Dead' but to be fair you have to slightly
like the band just for the EP title, if only it was true though!
'Emo is Dead' opens up with 'A Silent Fiction' which has some great guitar
riffs and the vocals are quite different sounding but in a good way, the
song is on for just over 3 minutes and 30 seconds but it ends up feeling
like too long due to the lack of excitement throughout the song. 'Ride
Paranoia' is another song that lacks excitement and entertainment, it
starts off sounding alright like the opening track and then suddenly the
song starts going weird with a lot going on but it all ends up going nowhere
and sounds very unfinished.
Things look up a little bit throughout 'Pretty Demon Create' mainly for
the fact that it’s the only track on the EP that sounds complete
and doesn’t stray too far from the opening sound. 'Poem (For The
Dead)' and 'Tales, Tracks & Turns' have some interesting moments throughout
but there’s nothing on offer that leaves you thinking wow this band
rock.
The press release for this EP claims that the bands aim was to write dirty,
ass-kicking, honest music to make the listener think and to make music
to make people happy and to give them hope, but the EP has made me feel
the total opposite and also feel that the band have done too much experimenting
and come up with an unfinished sound.
2/5
