The Fiction-Names

CD waking records 011

taken from Heartattack

I liked this cd, but for the life of me I am not sure how to describe it. Of course The Fiction is a rebirth of part of Saetia, but at this point they have a lot of releases out and that probably isn't so important. But the sound is a definite extension of what Saetia was doing... an ancestor of The Fiction most certainly. The songs are well crafted and they strike with passion and energy. Emotive music with screamy vocals and frantic rhythms. Really this is quite good. Catchy and energetic with a pulsating sound that assaults with a high quality groove. I guess this is in the screamp category, but well controlled and well crafted... the emphasis is on quality songs rather than chaotic noisy screaming. Good stuff all around. (Kent McClard)
