Spiritual Front & Rome

Am lipsit putin de pe virtual si din cauza excursiei la Brasov.
Oameni deschisi la minte de pe acolo au organizat in aceasta toamna o serie de concerte rock cu nume mai mult sau mai putin cunoscute publicului larg de la noi. Am avut sansa sa fiu prezent sambata la "martial postfolk evening" cu trupele Rome din Luxemburg si Spiritual Front din Italia. Recunosc ca stiam putine despre muzica lor si asta a influentat foarte mult impresia generala asupra concertului.
Bucuresteni.ro zice asa :

"ROME (LUX): Jerome Reuter este un geniu ce a reusit in doar 3 ani sa realizeze un MCD si 3 albume, care mai de care mai rapitor! "Masse Mensch Material", ultimul lui album realizat in acest an, este de o melodicitate incredibila, unde vocea masculina ne plimba de la Nick Cave pana la Leonard Cohen… de la LAIBACH sau SPIRITUAL FRONT, pana la DEPECHE MODE, cu treceri prin Ambient, Post Industrial, New Wave, Neo-Classical, Dark-Romanticism… Balade, piese ritmate, secvente Pop, altele autentic Ambient, treceri Martial… totul e diferit, ciudat, simplu dar al naibii de expresiv! Beauty of desperation!"
(completez : elementele care m-au incalzit mai mult nu sunt mentionate aici si este vorba despre influentele gothic si doom, proiectiile video de pe fundal fiind impresionante in acest sens).

Spiritual Front isi intituleaza stilul nihilist suicide pop si cred ca suna foarte bine:

"SPIRITUAL FRONT (ITA): cvartetul este recunoscut pentru erotismul muzical transmis prin piesele lor, Simone Salvatori erijand deseori intr-un veritabil rol de "Gigolo artistic". Cu multe influente din NICK CAVE, JOHNNY CASH, CALEXICO sau TINDERSTICKS, la limita unui Folk extrem dar si a unui Country in genul Ennio Morriconne, SPIRITUAL FRONT presteaza un Alternative Rock emotional, ce se bucura de un succes fantastic LIVE" (bucuresteni.ro) (completez : undeva intre Noir Desir, Deine Lakaien si Dresden Dolls)

In fine, o experienta interesanta, rara si desteapta.

Iata cate ceva nihilist suicide pop si martial folk...

ROME - Like Lovers



SPIRITUAL FRONT - Bastard Angel



Its embarassing to see you wave that flag when you try to give yourself a navigated tone
You fix your damp collar a wring of blood to your dick you'd like it but it will not work
You try to make me feel guilty for never never having had and identity, a defined and conformed middle class sexuality

All the uniforms are shit
All the ideals are shit
Love and this nation have forced us
In a chain of sperm and blood

A bastard angel will take me away from fat tummy of god
He will be the precise sniper that will center my weak chest
A bastard angel will lick my wound while your hands will
Leave me bleeding on the floor

Walk around my smashed skull walk 'round my disabled strenght
I don't want to die so I can see your flesh crumble
You chest open the right road's the lie of intellectual and criminals love won't give life to
The children we've never had love won't give life to this job that will bury us dissidents, passionate lovers and combed proud soldiers
Don't ask me more questions because i've no memory
Because i'll never will...

A bastard angel will take me away from fat tummy of god
He will be the precise sniper that will center my weak chest
A bastard angel will lick my wound while your hands will
Leave me bleeding on the floor
you leave me bleeding...
