Sofy Major/Idolize/Solar Flare Records/2013 CD Review


  Sofy  Major  are  a  band  from  France  that  plays  a  very  metallic  and  sludgy  form  of  noise  rock  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Idolize"  which  was  released  by  Solar  Flare  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with  no  fast  drumming  or  blast  beats  being  present on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording,  as  for  the  sound  effects  which  are  only  used  briefly  they  bring  an  avant  garde  and  dark  ambient  sound  to  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range from s low  to  mid  paced  riffs  that  combine  influences  from  sludge  and  metal  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  some  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  are  very  melodic  sounding  noise  rock  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  clean  singing  noise  rock  vocals  with  some  more  aggressive  sounding  sludge  screams  being  used  at  times  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  parts  and  samples, while  the  lyrics  cover  violent  and  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Sofy  Major  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  noise  rock,  sludge  and  metal  and if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Accune  Importance"  "Bbbbreak"  "Slow  And  Painful"  and  "Power  Of  The  Voice".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
