"Thin Ice Crawling" album by Soul Enema is not about playing the safe ground, it's definitely more about taking risks. From the dark, theatrical vibe in the lyrics and elegant, renaissance-inspired melodies of the past, to the modern, futuristic heavy sound, Soul Enema is here to let it go at anything that seems to be interesting and seems to fit the concept well. At one time it can be into some familiar elements from progressive metal and rock, European folk and oriental ethnic music, at other times it flows into some electronic and psych touches, jazz-fusion and flamenco patterns, and what's not - hey, there's even some obscure grind-noise hidden track you may find somewhere there. However, there's one thing the band seems to know well - an experimentation should go hand in hand with strong melodies and themes, and not instead of them. And that's the pleasing point of the album - the right balance to carry you through the ice shelves without falling into banal cliches on one hand, and without running into some boring soulless shred fests on another...
According to lyrics and a story line, there's a common "thin ice crawling" fate line that goes with the heroes of a plot. With every step and every twist, the burden of a Gordian Knot becomes harder, the grip of madness becomes stronger, and reality slips further away out of control. Is it just a little nightmare, or maybe a reflection of the world around us? No answers are given. Anyway, ironic or serious, the lyrics here manage to harmonize with the music in a natural way, adding a bonus emotional dimension to a sonic frame. So, in the bottom line, it's like in a twisted black light theater - you'll have your colorful hour-long journey, and while it may be exiting, fragile or dangerous stuff coming at you out of the dark, it's probably never a dull moment in any way. Line-up: Soul Enema is a project led by Constantin Glantz. Here follows the main lineup that was featured in the recordings of "Thin Ice Crawling" album:
Irene Sherr - vocals Constantin Glantz - keyboards, sound effects, vocals Max Mann - bass guitar Yevgeny Kushnir - electric and acoustic guitars Oleg Szumsky - drums Израильский музыкальный проект Soul Enema сформирован в 2001 году. Творчество коллектива сочетает аспекты конвенциональной мелодичной рок-музыки с более экспериментальным композиционным подходом. Если представлять ассоциативно, то оное является возможным звуковым аналогом довольно контрастных и непредсказуемых спектаклей «Чёрного театра». Первая демо запись из пяти композиций увидела свет в 2003 году. И после этого начались долгие работы по записи и сведению полноформатного студийного альбома. Условная музыкальная стилистика совмещает влияния прогрессив-рока, прогрессив-метала, этники, психоделии, фьюжна, симфо-рока и так далее, а тексты носят оттенок театральности, то есть исполняются в основном от лица различных персонажей.
