Nowadays, abstract and individual art is really in demand in some corners. The debut album by Akphaezya starts with the hardly noticeable name for the unsuspecting first-time listener, continues with the crazy cover that looks like a talented artist got bored in math class, and completes the debacle with the strangest genre mix the world has ever heard. The fact that the debut album is called Anthology II(!) implies that there was once a first album, not to mention.
Somewhere between classical piano tinkling and death metal riffs, a playful experimentation with styles and instruments in the analog/digital realm emerges, making one start to regret that technology allows acoustic waves to be captured on media for eternity. The musicians do understand their craft and prove this in various ways in the metal/jazz/pop/soul/XXX area, yet it is absolutely unsuitable for casual listening. To project this onto Jim Morrison and his time, he would probably say: "...they didn't get it...", which is not necessarily a compliment when you want to sell something.
The recording is quite okay and transparent, like pretty much everything that has been laid down, mastered, and mixed in a reasonably equipped studio. It's strange that the band's creativity has been held back at this point; that could have been a plus.
For eleven songs, you are dragged along and enjoy the rare bright spots represented by the female vocals. But only if you are quite fond of No Doubt. For safety reasons, I did not listen to the album until the end.
