“Cyclamen boasts a repertoire featuring both mathcore chaos and technical aggression to the seemingly polar opposite with post-rock atmospheres and calming beauty in a genre I like to call post-djent.” heavyblogisheavy
”CYCLAMENはMATHCOREのカオスとテクニカルな攻撃性、同時にそれとは正反対に思えるPOST-ROCKのアトモスフィアと静かな美しさを兼ね備えている。POST-DJENTとでも呼びたいね” こんな感じだと思います。2010年にこういった文章を書かせたCYCLAMEN、書いたTHBIH、どちらも素晴らしいですね。と言うのもこの4年間でシーンの成長と共にそういった音楽性のバンドが増え、人気も出てきたように感じるからです。先日あのKSCOPEと契約を果たしたTESSERACT然り、FALLUIJAH然り、THE CONTORTIONIST然り。そして今回インタビューを行ったVERSE VICAは彼らに続いてPOST-DJENTの新たなる地平を切り開き2010年代後半のDJOPINION-LEADERとなる可能性を秘めています。デビュー作ENDEAVORで彼らが提示したANIMALS AS LEADERSとMONOのハイブリッド的音像は確実にここ日本でも多くのファンを獲得する事でしょう。インタビューです。どうぞ。
MARUNOUCHI MUZIK MAGAZINE PRESENTS WORLD VIDEO PREMIERE OF FLYING COLORS!!
Steve Morse (Deep Purple/Dixie Dregs/ex-Kansas ), Casey McPherson, Neal Morse (Transatlantic, Spock’s Beard and a prolific solo artist), Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and more) , Mike Portnoy (Transatlantic, Winery Dogs, ex-Dream Theater) から成る夢のプログバンドFLYING COLORS。先日リリースされた2ndアルバム、SECOND NATUREからBOSTONのようなボーカルハーモニーとポートノイ氏の青髭が非常に魅力的な新PV、A PLACE IN YOUR WORLDを世界初公開です！！
【ABOUT “SECOND NATURE”】
【MIKE PORTNOY】:“The first album was very much a blind date, Although we already had ‘Team Dregs’ of Steve/Dave and ‘Team Transatlantic’ of myself/Neal, it was the first time that the five of us – seven if you include Bill Evans and Peter Collins – had collaborated together as a group. This time there was an existing chemistry, we had not only the prior experiences of making the debut album but also the 2012 tour as well.”
【MIKE PORTNOY】: “Direction was never even discussed. We just did what we do. I think perhaps not having a producer to ‘trim the fat’ possibly led to the songs breathing and expanding a bit more.”
