And once again, there’s a band named Anorak from Spain, another band called Anoraks from Ireland and at my third shot I founded what I’ve been looking for, Anorak from France. Really guys, get a grip, it’s absolutely no use to kick off from making noise and ending up in the court yard! On the other hand I can understand that playing music it’s much more exciting than talking legal issues with some lawyers, but still…
“Sick” is a noisy, contorted, experimental post-metal material, intense and crushing, cutting edge guitar riffs, raw vocals, balanced and colorful drums, heavy bulldozer like themes and technical shifts, turns, twists are gonna run through to you like a racing car. Still, they have some interesting, psychedelic left-over themes, quieter moments which make their music much more exciting. The eight tracks of “Sick” are an intense, shaking experience. The four piece band find an interesting path between hardcore, modern metal, some sludge and doom left-over roots and their gloomy, but extremely heavy music have some distinct, unique taste. Anorak have nerve, have a kind of primitive intensity and they brutal themes are combined extremely technically, they have lots of turns, breaks, shifts, they changing moods and tones smoothly and extremely inspired. “Sick” is a brilliant album, powerful and alive with intense and exciting shades, shadows and highlights, all the eight songs are carefully arranged, perfectly combined and performed. Absolutely impressive, I love it! Unfortunately there’s no info about the band, I didn’t manage to find out any other background information about them or this album, I believe they deserve a better promotion and a management at least much professional as they play.
