SICth - Gerbera (Review)

Before telling about the new release of band SICth, I will remember the first single from other newcomers - Velatria (I wrote a review of their first single before). No, this time review will be not neutral, but positive. I just want to leave this thought in intro. If guys from Velatria think that they will become famous, barely picking up the instruments, guys from SICth have something that these badass really lacked.

My Rating: 76/100

Previously, I did not hear band SICth - only previews. And now I listened and am ready to talk about their third release. At first glance, this band also has all the signs of a one-day project: monosyllabic naming, a strong emphasis on visual components, fuzzy genre boundaries and fuzzy wordings in lirycs. Fortunately, it all ends on external signs. If usually such releases are like a plastic toy, then here you can feel not just professional work.

Composer's work is good. But a separate point I would like to note that I did not understand the original idea of ​​composer. On the one side, instrumental parts are not very complicated. On the other side, general constructions don't create very strong emotions. Well, professionals don't have to be understood. But nevertheless, many accompanying shades testify in favor of good work.

Vocalist is also good. Initially, I did not understand vocalist's ability. But composer correctly composed the vocal parts, revealing many of the charms of this vocalist. The only bad thing is the very predictable structure of vocals. However, not everyone likes surprises.

Instrumental parts are not very complicated. An overdriven guitar (which looks like a crunch) sounds rather weak. But guitar solos are cool. I also liked the idea of ​​using the rotation effect. Also here are keyboards. Hammond organ at the beginning of first track is a nice touch. Solo on synthesizer in second track is also cool. You can also note the rather difficult bass lines in first track. In second track, bass lines are less complex, but that sounds cool too. But rhythm section continues on drums. Both tracks have a rather intense drum patterns. But if in first track it’s just a regular pattern, in second track drums sound more interesting.

What can be said at the end? It's a cool guys. They have good opportunities - and they use them. So far this is a little-known band and this release is rather rare. Yes, in two years of existence it was possible to come up with a more effective tactic. However, it's better this way than quickie. And if they take the path that I assume, then I can say that they have a good future.
