TRACKLIST:
Dead Don't Dance
"If I wasn't in a band, I'd probably be a criminal!" With this cheeky opening line, the album opener launches into a monster groove. All the classic ingredients of a FatF album are here, with the shredding guitar solo by Rand giving it a strong metal vibe. It seems designed (or at least chosen) to both ease the mind of the listener by giving them what they're expecting to hear, as well as prep them for when things take a very different turn.
Winter In My Heart
The somber heart of the album, it is also the most recent of all the material here, having been conceived while Bamarri was stranded with his former boss Alicio Organa
on the planet Zaathru. Apparently Organa masqueraded as a wintry god to win over the natives.
Don't Take Your Love Away From Me
The album's lead single, the song is a melancholic ballad driven mainly by piano with a pleasing string section. It was purportedly written by Bamarri while serving a three year sentence in Azrael Asylum, during which he learned to play and sing.
Thrown Away
Industrial music using organic materials thunder along while Bamarri wails against abandonment. It feels personal, even if the music backing the lyrics doesn't.
The Universe Divide
The most high-concept track on the album, "The Universe Divide" revolves around the idea of reincarnation. Bamarri uses his shapeshifting abilities to create different voices for each character, who dies and is then reborn as someone else.
Last of His Kind
A lament for genocide and extinction, Bamarri's ageless vocals give the otherwise low energy title track some much needed intensity. It certainly helps that the song's subject matter will always be topical...
Bones of You
A post-post-breakup song which seems to be trying to run from the lingering vestiges of the past even as it remains caught in its siren-song allure. Rand's DNA is more obvious on this one (he does some of the vocals) and it certainly suggests an interesting future for FatF.
Song of Bamarre
This is the one everyone's been talking about. A ten standard minute long cosmic symphony with Bamarri providing wordless, eerie vocals meant to evoke the crystal melodies of his native land, it almost doesn't sound like music. It's either so far into the future it's left the singularity in the dust, or so far in the past that it reached back into some primordial lizard part of my brain. It kind of rules, and is a fantastic sendoff for the album and the late Bamarri's short but promising career.
