Gracious Shades have composed some of the most utterly disconcerting and at the
same time remarkably profound dark electronic music I've heard recently. The
lyrics speak of horrible personal tragedy and are the most pure emotional
honesty I've heard. If even half of these lyrics were from personal experience
I can't help but feel sympathy for whomever they occurred. The majority of this
album makes me want to let forth the beast from within and try to gain some
type of retribution for the crimes committed against the innocent. "Aberkash"
seems to be a personal look into the mind of a criminal and the insanely
deranged things one might do if inflicted by this social disease. The speed of
the music varies between a fever pitch and a elusively slow mood which is just
waiting to pounce the listener at each available moment. The false sense of an
adrenalin rush more than makes the album a worthwhile experience. The next time
you need a thrill, give this album a try, it might just do more for you
emotionally than the latest daredevil sports rage.
Gracious Shades are:
Scip - guidance, vibrations, life threatening situations
Eric Audet - cliffhanger, drums, bass (live)
Jason Park - samples, stage chaos
D. Alvarez - keys
