To be honest for our readers I will say MMCIRCLE presents quite different music than the bands from our website. But from second side to be loyal for Canadian label Unicorn Digital Inc. I feel duty to description of the disc, because the label was polite and sent me many discs for reviews. And from third side (at present three-dimensional point of view is fashionable) I think that MMCIRCLE will interest some metalheads because they create interesting klimate…
And therefore who wants to know more lets go on! MMCIRLCE is Canadian sextet created by Martin Maheux leader and drummer and the four ladies playing on the string instruments as well as the pianist… The band line-up a bit make association with APOCALYPTICA and many metalheads like this team, although MMCIRCLE and APOCALYPTICA play different music…
I think that “Requiem Pour Un Vivant” is for fans of Classical Music and Jazz music. However these string compositions do not remind style of A. Vivaldi nor also of N. Paganini. Despite of all the influences of Classical Music are audible here. Anyway the percussive tacts also make a difference this sextet from typical Classical Music. And then the music associates more with Jazz.
And therefore we know that the 5 compositions being on the disc are incarnation of Classic and Jazz inspirations. And many progressive, psychedelic, surrealistic and even minimalistic of traces enrich these compositions. The structures of works are very free. The gloomy and psychedelic string melodies interlace the parties of piano and they harmonize with the drum tacts. Some musical subjects are outright simple or minimalistic and for a moment they transmute in really masterly combinations with hard drums rhythms.
MMCIRCLE music will take metal listener in different musical areas. Though the climate of MMCIRCLE is very gloomy, dark and psychedelic and in moments is even a bit melancholy that is well-known and popular climate for some metalheads. For the end I will add that some sounds would fit to old black-white silent movie ideally, although not for comedies nor for melodramas but rather for horrors.
