 Band name: Torman MaxtAlbum name: The Problem of Pain: Part 1 Released: 2007 Mars Hill Records Rating: **** I recieved CD recorded by unknown band and I was told, that it’s metal opera. I recognize the metal part of the style-name in line with black colour on the booklet. And the opera I found inside. There are a few lines before each chapter, which include the story of the chapter. I turned on my player and inserted the CD in. I was almost scared when I heard some kind of electronic music in the begining of „Overture“. Fortunately, it was only 20 seconds. After it I heard only purely metal instruments. The first sung song „Job’s Song“ fluently connects with „Overture“, we can notice fast metal riffs, as well as acoustic, almots Zeppelin-sounded parts. „The Angel’s First Song“ is mix of Led Zeppelin‘s music and Queen‘s choruses. The song gradually grows – from acoustic guitars in the begining to the drums at the end. It sounds „unearthly“ On the other hand „Satan’s First Song“ sounds „infernal“. The slow acoustic begining is changed by fast riff soon. Nearly in the middle of this song the electronic sounds appears again and the listener is in hell. Suddenly, everything goes silent and the instrumental part begins. Chapter Three begins quiet hard, but we can hear some themes from „Job’S Song“ in the next two songs.. It means that Torman Maxt knows basic opera rule about character theme, as well as in „The Angel’s Second Song“ and „Satan’s Second Song“. „Job’s Contemplation“ is instrumental, which can be used for scene changing for chapter five. „Job’s Second Response“ is almost the same song as „Job’s Initial Shock“. There is „Job’s Wife“ afret it with new theme and the CD is ended by „A Great Silence“. I think, that after thet song can be break during live performance in theatre. general: sound: drums - could be better bass - good, full sound guitars - standart rock disortion, very good sound of acoustics keyboards: - unearthly voice - clean, quiet non-metal choirs - very interesting, clean The album is very good. Torman Maxt invented fantastic idea of creating the metal-opera and I think, that it was succesfull. • Each character has its own music theme, which goes through the all opera. • It must be great with theathric show. • It reminds me KISS album „Music From The Elder“. tracklist: Chapter One: Prologue #01 Overture #02 Job’s Song Chapter Two: Job’s First Test #03 The Angel’s First Song #04 Satan’s First Song Chapter Three: Job’s First Response #05 Job’s Initial Shock #06 Job’s Resolve #07 Job’s Commitment Chapter Four: Job’s Second Test #08 The Angel’s Second Song #09 Satan’s Second Song Chapter Five: Job’s Second Response #10 Job’s Contemplation #11 Job’s Second Response #12 Job’s Wife #13 A Great Silence Did you enjoy this article?
