One should never give up hope.
PARDAUZ from Cologne are said to make music that is supposed to be simple, meaningful, loud, and harmonious according to information from the label.
It is simple. Just listening to the first song shows that the band musically does not belong to the first league. The guitar tries to come up with a few riffs, but that is nothing that one cannot learn in the first music lessons. Well, the music might still be bearable, but what is absolutely unacceptable is the lyrics. They are so embarrassing. I don’t understand how one can record such lyrics. I would pull the plug in the studio.
The second song, which is quite tortured, is at least better. It has a decent melody line and also lyrics that are a bit more demanding. Here, music and vocals harmonize more, and one can actually warm up to the song, even though the aftereffects of the first song are still in the back of the mind.
The lyrics are meaningful... well... let’s say they have a message.
Loudness is not an indicator, because the volume does not make the band but the system on which the record is played. There are also people who listen to Motörhead quietly; it’s probably a very special fetish.
Song number three is already unpleasant again due to the vocals. There is a voice that might be able to do epic metal or dark rock, maybe even gothic, but for the sound the band produces, the voice is only conditionally usable. I don’t even want to talk further about the lyrics.
Even while listening to the other songs, the record does not get better.
Listening to the whole record borders on masochism. This is really something where you have to be a fan. It is actually not marketable. Horrific.
