review by Desiree "Shagarth"
Güthlin____ 
| For people who like the sound like Pearl Jam, Alice In Chain or even also Nirvana, this album is worthwhile in any case. |
The
fact that Switzerland has to offer some rather good bands of rock and
metal, might be probably aware to most fans of these sounds. The 4-man
band Treekillaz from Biel (CH) belongs to it with certainty.
Treekillaz
call her style "Intense rock" themselves, I would call it
hardcore rock.
The
new album encloses 10 strong rock songs which come across nicely hard
but also emotionally.
After
the insertion of the disc, “Refugee”
begins with quieter drum/-guitar-parts and then the song joins and
Bucher’s voice start first slowly and quietly, and then the music
becomes all of sudden loudly, hard and above all fully of pressure and
barely If I heard some parts, the disc reminds me, nevertheless, also a
bit of Clawfinger (which had a tour together with Treekillaz in 2003).
I
have not heard often too much to such a clear likeable voice in this
music area yet, simply perfectly. You can hear the joy in the music.
One
of my favorites on this disc is “Do
It Again”. Beating this
"masterpiece" and the vocals begins "broken" and
with a lot of punk influence appear. Thus a song must sound to arrange
it on the favorite's list on the top.
Guitar
reefs like they could not have been better in this case, rock of the
finest one.
“No
Return”, “Mansnake”,
and also “Evidence”
belongs to be songs which already stamp themselves after the first
hearing well and which you do not forget so fast again, nice melodies,
voice are used at the right places (at Evidence the voice could be a bit
better from the position of sound) and in general, bass, guitar and
drums well fit together with each other.
“Loosing
Heart” begins with banging
reefs, in the beginning it is a bit monotonously, but however, suddenly
faster tempo allows to still refresh this song, nevertheless.
“Garden
Of Serenity” was written by
The Ramones, and it is introduced as tributes what has also succeeded,
however, Bucher’s voice could be a little bit used in this song. Beside
Bucher, Clawfingers Frontman Zak Tell also comes to the train and takes
over some vocal-parts.
The
last song is “Doesn't Matter”,
a rather ballad-like, influenced by sluggish song, of slowly controlled
reefs and rather harmonious drum parts. But exactly this makes the song
so pleasant and for fans of rock ballads it is always listenable.
Another ballad-active song becomes with “Mockingbird”,
and also “Waterfall”
belongs to bee a subdued songs.
Result:
For people who like the sound like
Pearl Jam, Alice In Chain or even also nirvana is this album worthwhile
in any case. Grunge-rock, fully of pressure and hard, and, nevertheless
emotionally, and also punk influence appear which lends a special air to
the music.
