TSM/SLW Promotions gave me promo cd's several times. The bands always presented the something more than the classic sort of Rock or Metal. This always was the special mix of different species of Rock and of Metal. This time is similarly… The album “After The Storm” of SEASONS LOST possesses many the characteristic features of different species of Rock and of Metal…

The compositions contain many instrumental-vocal patents typical for Rock, Hard Rock and Heavy, Gothic as well as Nu Metal. These varied subjects interweave very neatly and create the generally very melodious music, simultaneously marked by considerable dose of dynamics and the heaviness as well as of the nostalgia. The vocal layer is pretty labile from calm and gentle singings (helped by backing vocal) until strong and sharp screams emphasizing the stronger hits. However the instrumental layer is created by the varied subjects of guitars full of calm chords, passages, melodious accents as well as heavy riffs. And the rhythmics… The majority of works are created by average and slow paces. Though somewhat the quicker and stronger hits also frequently appear. And I will add here, that the free shifts between sharp, strong patents and melancholy made me happy. It caused the effect of pleasant surprise and the variable of dynamics.

The many tracks possess the features of Rock ballad. The every song here has characteristic melody. However certain musical subjects also cause associations with METALLICA or PARADISE LOST. But here are more associations… The whole is very replete of emotions and of the wealth of moods with remarkably the predominant superiority of melancholy. Though there also is a place for controlled aggression. The album presents the interesting thematic solutions and it causes that the music is very mature and spatial.
