Full review

Hello, and first off, thanx fot taking the time to read my review.

First, let me tell you a little about one of the biggest new bands around.

ComMuniC are a 'Power Thrash' metal trio from Germany.

They are...
Oddlief Stensland - Guitar & Vocals
Tor Atle Andersen - Drums
Erik Mortensen - Bass
(All Keyboards on this album by - Peter Jensen)

In 2005 we (goths to you and me) couldn't get enough of them. They stormed into the year and took over, loved by everyone, and hailed as the band of the year by Nuclear Blast as there sound is so unique and progressive with, ever-changing guitar and bass riffs through their tracks to ever keep the attention firmly on their music.

The album...

The album, entitled - 'Conspiracy In Mind' was the bands first official album/EP, although they did release a 'promo', self-titled EP in early 2004 which had three tracks on it. Which are all featured on this album anyway.

'Conspiracy In Mind' was released through Nuclear Blast! and distributed by Plastic Head.

Release date - 21st February 2005.

Track Listing...
1... Conspiracy In Mind (full-length album version) (07:38)
2... History Reversed (06:48)
3... They Feed On Our Fear (09:35)
4... Communication Sublime (07:28)

7... Silence Surrounds (10:54)

---Bonus Tracks---
8... Another Distance (piano version) (04:59)
9... Conspiracy In Mind (video edit version) (05:03)

Total running time (67:39)

All tracks (as you problyz guessed) are quite long and some people (that I know anywayz) think that songs with a lengthy duration are/ or will be really boaring because they go on and on. But no, not this time,... ComMuniC are one of the best.

Although there are only three of them, they certainly know how to work up a crowd and they truly put their talents to good use.

The songs are really good and very energetic and keep the mood and feel of each and every track through out the album. Yet they keep changing riffs through out the songs to keep it interesting.

'Concpiracy In Mind' (the opening track) is one of my favorite tracks on the album as it is so powerful and progressive with a really good, exciting beat thats full of energy and is definitely the best track to open the album with as it really sets the stage for the rest of the album.

They follow with 'History Reversed' which is slightly more slower with a very melodic/ yet powerful feel to it that keeps you on your toes.

Another of my favorite tracks on the album has to be 'Communicasion Sublime' with a fast-pace and power-driven beat and heavy drum and bass cords. It will keep you thrashing round for a while...

'Conspiracy In Mind' was produced by Jacob Hansen and ComMuniC.

All music and lyrics by - Oddlief Stensland.

Album arranged by ComMuniC.

My thoughts...
Well, ya!,, Em, I like them ???... No, I love them, I got this album last year and loved it. It blew me away!

I couldn't wait for the follow up album.

Shear brilliance.

I urge anyone who likes metal to buy this album, and evan those who don't,... You never know....

ComMuniC will be hear for a while, I think and this album is a great first album that will leave you wanting more,...

If you put this album on, you won't be able to stop yourself from jumping round.
