Ready To Be Buried.
Hebephrenic are making music to rock hard and heavy. Well... when you listen to their sound you are searching this hard and heavy sound. Hebephrenic is a mental illness that makes people have dangerous and sometimes unpredictable behaviour. What is dangerous here is listening to the whole album as you could get headaches and possibly turn insane.
'Jump', the first track opens quite well but the worse is yet to come- the vocals. The singer is not in tune and this is the case with each and every song. There is just nothing to say about it. They seem to try too hard to be original but the thing is, shouting in the microphone and torturing the electric guitar on the other hand is not what makes an album work.
After listening a couple of times to this album just to be sure that I did not miss any track worth mentioning, I just gave up. Everything is flat. The macabre and sinister lyrics are laughable. Some local press described their music as 'Graveyard Metal' and it is, so let's leave it there. Burying the album and saying goodbye should not be too hard. They need to find their own style and not try to copy something others do.
The band's final line up was completed in 2003 and it just seems that the chemistry doesn't quite work yet... They still need to discover each other.
I've got one positive word about this whole album. You must admit that those guys have a real passion in what they do because it's all self-funded. They are really into their project and believe in themselves, but they have a lot of work to do to improve the quality of their music.
