Gnosis are a trio from Germany existing for about three years. What they actually play
on their 7-track-demo-tape is difficult to describe, they call it themselves Thrash
Metal Jazz Punk. Sounds silly, OK? To my ears, the music is an excellent kind of Thrash
Metal played on a technically very high level. Maybe that this draws a parallel to Jazz
music, but I can't see no similarities to short, fast and vivid Punk songs here. Although
Gnosis have their main roots in Thrash Metal, lots of songs contain breaks bringing the
music into other directions. Especially the three songs from the A-side and the last
one 'The Awakening' underline the
variations that Gnosis put into their songs. You can expect nearly everything from
slow riffs to fast and brutal attacks. As Gnosis still are newcomers in the Metal scene,
'Colourful Batic-Brain-Washing' (I wonder if this is perhaps a description of the band
sound) is more than just a promising debut. The only things that I miss could be a
slightly clearer sound and a less monotone singer. But I suppose that Gnosis will have
lots of time to work on this. You can get the tape for 10 DEM at the following address: Karsten Richter, Heinrich-Mann-Str. 19, D-01877 BISCHOFSWERDA, Germany. |
