Demo Review: BOERNI K FEATURING GUDRUN RUBINI s/t (Digibrane)

BOERNI K FEATURING GUDRUN RUBINI
s/t
Digibrane
You’ll likely remember my review of Boerni K’s full length Darkangel – Trilogie (I -IV) which I described as a conglomeration of different subgenres of metal. The new series of demo tracks he recorded with Gudrun Rubini further transcends musical boundaries, and does so in terms of dimension as well as influence. Not much information is provided about Gudrun Rubini on the Soundcloud links I was forwarded. However my first impression is that she is an accomplished singer who is mastering the art of vocalizing in the style of electronica frontwomen and possesses a unique range. Together these two artists strive to reach a new level of originality in a world where everything has been done at least once. Whether or not you believe they succeed will depend on your personal taste but it cannot be denied that a real effort is being made. The songs the duo posted at Soundcloud are heavy, experimental, melodic, operatic, atmospheric and haunting with bilingual lyrics. You find so many facets of their imagination as you join their quest to reach the highest plateau of creativity there is to be reached. Each track assumes its own personality not like the others; going from track to track is like entering a different room in a vast hotel where the furnishings are in marked contrast. It’s rare to find musicianship such as this, and words can’t describe their creations any more than experiencing them firsthand. This is the kind of collection that should compile a full length CD and be shopped around as aggressively as possible. -Dave Wolff
