Four years after SAKURA they recorded a new album with the name SONGS OF LOVE, HOPE AND DESPAIR. And lucky as I am, I could listen to it before it’s available on Amazon. Isn’t it great to be an undead?
The whole album starts with a totally strange and scary arrangments. Later I should know that these disharmonias can be heard on the whole album. So more dark corners you spot, so more disharmonias. Nothing extraordinary for SKELETAL FAMILY. Remember the song freak. Isn’t there something in the song, which makes it sound – special? This exotic spice is what people often call disharmonia. However, this is what the SKELETAL FAMILY makes a very special and a very, very great band. And yes, the good news is, this spice is there and it starts with the first song LOVE, HOPE, DESPAIR and ends with 13, the last song in line.
It’s scary, it’s rock. All songs are straightforward and sometimes remind me on Alice Cooper (Make it alright). Very catchy refrains go straight to your ears. I mean: what can I do to make it alright? This is so simple, I will never forget this phrase again. This is best beeing played very loud – and you need to sing along with. Other songs remind me on Munster and give the listener this feeling of old caves, dusty clubs, goth rock like we had back before ages. Yes, this one is definitly for oldschoolers.
That beeing said, the album is greatly mixed too. There is nothing to hear of the loudness war. There is dynamic, there is life in the whole production. I am glad they did it this way, I am too tired of all that dry, metal-sounding (I mean the chemical element, not the music genre) mixes. SKELETAL FAMILY sound like the elder of us are used too, just a bit better. Execellent mix, warm and bright (please you ghuls out there, sit down, it’s good if something sounds bright, even when music is dark).
Definitly, this band stands for a great era of UK based music. If somebody says ‘batcave’, then SKELETAL FAMILY come immediatly to my mind
