AESMA DAEVA
“The Eros Of Frigid Beauty”
(Root Of All Evil)
I’ve never been much of a fan of mixing different styles and calling it eclectic. I couldn’t figure out the whole funk metal thing and I don’t understand this whole rap metal thing. Taken apart I have nothing against either rap or funk. The only mix of styles that worked in my ears was the hardcore metal thing and the goth metal mix. But as with anything that shows signs of success in our modern society you can rest assured that hundreds more like it will spring up like weed in a finely trimmed garden. American Aesma Daeva my mean well but the execution leaves a bit to be desired. There’s an underlying feeling of the band (person?) holding back instead of using the full potential that the mix of goth, metal and classical invites to. Pretentious is not a bad word in these circles. Pretentious could be the difference between
indifference and grandeur.
