BUG – Alpha
Quà Rock Records
I don’t have any
information about this release. I only know that it is a solo project of the
musician Lorenzo Meoni. The booklet of the CD only included the track titles
and a story about a cyborg that rebels against his master (The Terminator is a
big influence for everyone).
THE COVER: The cover is simple enough and yet fits to their whole
philosophy. It shows some digital branches and the world BUG on the center and
below the title of the album “Alpha”.
MUSICAL STYLE: This is an instrumental album and its creator has the
hard task to express all the emotions and ideas through his music. The
interesting part though with BUG is that Lorenzo uses his skills in order to
create the emotions he wants to express through the music without showing off.
The basis of BUG’s sound is traditional heavy and speed metal, but you can also
find some jazz or fusion elements.
COMPOSITIONS: The album includes 11 instrumental compositions and
through them it narrates the story of a man crafted cyborg that feels human
emotion and rebels against his creator. Such a story needs to be told by music
that is both melodic and aggressive and that’s exactly what you will listen to
here. Personally speaking the style of Lorenzo brought to my mind Jeff Waters
(ANNIHILATOR).
CONCLUSION: I am not a big fan of instrumental albums because most
of the times the musicians behind them use them in order to show off their
skills. These kinds of albums apply better to people who want to improve their
skills. There are though some instrumentals like this one that are made for all
the listeners and restore my faith to the genre. If the absence of lyrics
doesn’t bother you, then you will enjoy this album.
