Rated: ****
As we enter the Final 24 Hours before the deadline for YOUR lists for the Stoner HiVe Top 20 Countdown of 2024. Namely, before Saturday December 14th, 8.00 CET. We decided to keep diving into that folder full of albums we desperately had wanted to mention this year. We wrote about something like 250 albums and EP’s this year. But in that folder, there are still some 400 more that we had wanted to bring into your peripheral vision. And we are saddened that we will never get to that… But well, besides trying to keep up with all the new ones coming out, we’re now trying to bring into the spotlight one from every month passed that we unfortunately did not mention during the month they were released.
This one came out in October but starts like it could have been released in the eighties. And there are more eighties touches throughout the new The Fërtility Cült album A Song Of Anger. And that’s a good thing because it turns their jazzy and progressive rock sound into a grandiose affair. The Fërtility Cült is a five-piece band from Tampere, Finland featuring guitar, bass, drums, saxophone and keyboards. And that sax and key-work are the culprits, lifting all the compositions into heavenly proportions. Multi-universal wide! But don’t forget about the guitars and drums, for they do the ground work, they lay the foundation and go off on the big runs towards the stairway or step plate. Dynamic vocals and harmonies lay in wait, for at times it seems they only aid the sax and synth in turning this tale into a grand odyssey. One worthy of total attention, for in the end it will give you much more than all of the details involved. And in the end, there’s the almost thirteen minute long closing title-track, which, if you’ve travelled with The Fërtility Cült so far, will show you every color in whirling kaleidoscopic fashion. And you will taste them…
