Before
two years, imagine that back in 2002 i was in middle of my
studies at the university and now with the new self financed
album i have finished my studies. Juglans Regia comes
from Italy and so far they have a twelve years history with
five demo releases and two albums. Honestly, i don't remember
their debut album now but i will focus to their newest one
which has the title "Controluce". In this
album you will find six tracks and more than thirty five minutes
of great music. Juglans Regia as you can imagine from
the titles of their songs, sings in their mother language
as they did it from their beginning of their career. I am
not against this movement, instead i support the bands that
have lyrics in their mother tongue, but i want to find somewhere
the translation and i expected to read for example the translation
in the booklet. Now in the music section of Juglans Regia
we have a mixture of progressive rock and metal music, sometimes
the band have more metal elements in their songs and some
times you hear a more progressive approach from them. I don't
know if this happened but while i hear their album i feel
that the band has a dark atmosphere in the whole album. Anyway
maybe it was just my impression, but i feel it every time
that i hear their stuff. Juglans Regia just give their
hearts and their soul in this album, you can feel it if you
pay attention while you hear their music. Maybe isn't the
easiest music to hear, but if you understand their project
then you will have a great trip to the music labyrinth of
Juglans Regia. Also don't forget that the band sell
this album with only 5 euros (p&p included) so where ever
you are you will buy this album with only five euros or dollars,
just e-mail Max, the bass player to get more infos.
