So at the beginning of a new year, we can not avoid to pick some pictures with which appeared at the end of 2014. Likewise, this very impressive debut album of the band Haarlem Schizoid Lloyd. Of the group, who had previously released an EP and a single released it appeared after about 4 years of silence the long awaited debut album The Last Note in God’s Magnum Opus . After listening to this powerful epic we can reassure the group in any case calling its name with this extremely energetic and versatile album.
Musically fishing group from the same pond as bands like Fantômas, Devin Townsend Project and Nuclear Rabbit, just to mention a few names of artists who are not afraid to experiment musically. We hear on the predominantly bombastic The Last Note in God’s Magnum Opus also the influences of bands like Queen and Muse. The Last Note in God’s Magnum Opus has therefore become a very ambitious album, with a strong dose of inimitable humor in the lyrics, which lets listen to the talents of the six band members on all sides.
The Last Note in God’s Magnum Opus is an explosive chunk become progressive, constantly jumping from one topic to the branch. As you listen to one moment to progressive rock and then to be beaten in the face with a piece of death metal, followed by some reggae and jazz. An extremely schizophrenic plate so, a company that we can safely call may very unique in the Dutch music scene. That f eeling you get all incidentally when viewing the beautifully designed case that looks like a surreal psychedelic nightmare. Schizoid Lloyd makes music that is certainly not suitable for a wide audience, but a little advanced listener of bold and experimental progressive sounds will melomane orgasm this Haarlem six definitely appreciate.
