Rapture
NAMSILAT



Namsilat are Chebre on Vocals, Scurvy J.on Strings and Scapegoat on Beatings.

The tracks are : 'Medusa's Pupil', 'J. Drive South', 'Utopianism', 'Phenom', 'Rapture'.

Rapture is a 5 track mini-album containing some pretty average hardcore-thrash-metal-goth-punk songs!!. There are some nice ideas incorporated within the tunes, but they lack depth.

Now I can't say that I'm a huge fan of this type of music, but I can tell the difference between good and bad songs. Unfortunately, this CD is full of the latter. The lyrics are impossible to interpret due to a bad balance of instrumental volume, and the tracks are pretty repetative.

There was, however, a good use of samples, but when the lead singer, Chebre started singing about goats and their lack of respect for religion (a pleasant way to state their opinions!), I totally lost interest.
