The first album review of Manu Cornuto Scope, comes from the very far east of the Earth. We are scoping Mozaiq, a 2007 album made by Blood Stain Child, of Osaka. This group can be defined by one of the most eccentric genres out there, Melodic Death Metal with Trance elements, We are sure someone will come up with a "
-metal" name for this kind, but for the moment, we'll stick to Melodic Death with Trance elements. The album is comprised of 12 songs, each with a weirder name than other. As we know, Japan is known for weird things in general, weird fashion, weird people and etc. For an average thrash or death metal listener, this metal can be labeled as weird as well. But for those out, who enjoy trance too, this album can just be a fountain of life along with it's predecessor, which will also be reviewed here, Idolator.
Though the names are weird, the music is far better than what we can define as "weird". Starting with "Exotic-6-Cordinator" the band promises us an album full of energy, and fulfills that promise. It is mainly composed of fast tempos, usage of harsh growls and vocals, along with melodic keyboard tones, which are also used sometimes in a sad mood, seen in "Cyber Green". Of course after each of these tones, the album kind of revives and returns to its energetic stance.
While behind the keyboard lies a good practitioner of a melodic keyboard, clean vocals are not good as the growls and screams,the "talks" during the songs are also a pain in the ear. The album also has an instrumental song, "C.E. 0079", I really want to know what this means by the way, although it has some japanese girl speaking in the middle. In general I will label this as a good album but nothing much more, Idolator was better in my opinion.
From the Idolator, we can see a more shifting towards trance Idolator was already a large step towards trance, Mozaiq now brings the elements in a stalemate, so that we can not say this album is metal or it is trance. I'd prefer seeing it as a metal though. A few guitar solos help me out on this one.
