专辑介绍:
NOCTURNUS的重组对于我们这些从“耳痛”起步开始听死亡金属的乐迷来说,真是一个天大的好消息。我们终于又可以重温90年代初那些早已落入尘埃的声音了,CYNIC,ATHEIST,PESTILENCE......当然,这里是我们的NOCTURNUS。他们这次的回归并不属于世纪末的“80年代重金属回潮”,他们有真正新的东西带给大家,这一次他们又站到了最前沿。
NOCTURNUS就领先于所有死亡金属乐队,在死亡金属音乐中加入了大量的键盘,从而影响了相当一批乐队。乐队成立于1987年的佛罗里达Tampa湾,从1988年他们发行了4首歌的小样The Science Of Horror的那一刻,他们就创造了一种具有科幻气质的恐怖死亡金属。正是这张与众不同的小样吸引了Earache唱片公司的注意,公司决定与NOCTURNUS签约并将他们推向世界。那时的乐队成员是吉他手Sean McNenney和Mike Davis,键盘手Louis Panzer,贝司手Jeff Estes,鼓手兼主唱Mike Browning。
乐队的首张专辑The Key(钥匙)发行于1989年,这是一张概念专辑,讲述了未来世界中的灾难事件,最后的高潮以摧毁基督教,建立新的高技术王国作为结束。这是世界上第一张在所有歌曲中都贯穿了键盘演奏的死亡金属专辑。风驰电掣般的吉他演奏(集中在高音区)和具有科幻氛围的键盘演奏使NOCTURNUS和其他所有死亡金属乐队有了明显的区别,这张精彩的专辑获得了歌迷的一致好评,它甚至卖出了5万张以上(这是在1989年,死亡金属的初生期,还没有几个乐队能达到这样的销量)。
If I listened to Death Metal for just guitar-playing, I wouldn't need another album! I would just play this all day.
NOCTURNUS were pioneers in the fact that they were the first Death Metal-band to use keyboards fulltime in their sound. They were also one of the first to use a pentagram in their logo. These are useful facts to know if you're ever on "Jeopardy". But moving on, "The Key" is considered by most to be their best album to date. I can now see why, but with an album like this, one must attempt to transport thyself to the year 1990 when Death Metal was just in its infancy in order to appreciate its greatness. Hearing this today, the only thing I can think to say good about the album is "DAMN, that's some great guitar playing!"
Every song on "The Key" has guitar-solos aplenty, with shredding that would make any Yngwie-worshipper go apeshit. The keyboards also add a nice atmospheric quality to the riffs, but not really in the Black Metal-sense. They are mostly in the background, leaving the guitars rightfully in the forefront, where they belong. The drumming is awful. I shudder to think how great this album would've been with a good drummer! But the guitars easily make up for it, EASILY! Why do you think Trey from MORBID ANGEL is always wearing NOCTURNUS t-shirts in all his photos? (hint: see "The Key")
While I had to order this album directly from Earache, it has just been re-issued, so if you see it at your local music outlet, give it a try ONLY IF you like your Death Metal laden with technicality and ambitious guitar-playing.
