A
few months ago I reviewed the previous work from these Finnish
guys, 'Rest in Bliss'. The band began in 2003 and so
far they have released two EPs and now their newest work which
has the title 'Serenity'.
In
this mini CD the band included five songs and more than twenty
minutes of pure heavy rock with some atmospheric elements
too. The songs from this EP were recorded and mixed at Sundicon
Studio by Tuomo Valtonen (Finntrol,
Shape of Despair, Ajattara and
many more). Also the produces was Juuso Jalasmaki (known
also from Sethian).
Musically
the band has definitely progressed and I can say that in this
work we have some moments that Gotham O.D had found
their personal way of their sound and I am sure in their next
step will be more unique than in this one.
Last
but not least, you can hear some well developed compositions
here with very impressive ideas and above all music played
straight from their hearts and you can feel it this. I am
sure that now the next step from them is to record their debut
album, I believe after three releases they are ready to make
the breakthrough to the mainstream music scene and above all
they deserve it.
