Redimoni - Standing Before The End Of Time

This oddball style is also evident in the bands stage names, I mean “Perverted Lust Monster Devoted to Vices of Eternal Damnation” and “The Atomic Puppeteer Ruler Of The Everlasting Fate Of Mankind” is pretty far out there isn’t it? And that is just two of the quartet. As a listener, if you embrace this style and I suppose this humour it will eventually lead you to observe that Redimoni are at least very consistent but it does seem to drag on a bit. The album feels longer than what it actually is in running time terms, I don’t know how this is, but I do feel that a lot of these songs merge into one leading to a little listening complacency and loss of concentration, maybe it’s me trying to find something genuinely ground breaking from this album, especially as their earlier material had much more bite and a little more blackening influence than this. ‘Standing Before the End of Time’ sounds a little innocent by comparison.

Not a bad release if you overcome the vocals but it is not something I’ll be rushing out to herald in the future. I do enjoy the music for what it is, but that is all, with such overbearing screeches being a regular occurrence would be unjust to myself if I was to fully embrace this.
