Whispers In Bedlam

Formed in Moscow in 1993, here is an extremely 
progressive and technical death metal band that call 
themselves Hieronymus Bosch. "Artificial Emotions" is 
only their 2nd album after 12 years, but their first album 
(The Human Abstract) was actually released 10 years 
ago (1995). Anyways, let me entice you with what you 
should not be missing. HB have a philosophical 
outlook (I guess me saying that is kind of a catch 22) 
on emotions and of the space/time continuum. Their 
guitar savagery would lead you to think of bands like 
Cynic and Pestilence. Indeed, they are MUCH like 
these bands. The only essential with HB is, they are 
still around AND more aggressive! Plus, the shredding 
guitars are in league with James Murphy (tons of 
solos), the drumming precision is Hoglan-esque, the 
bass lines are like DiGiorgio and the vocals sound 
very much like (Piotr Wiwczarek of Vader)- well, death 
metal!! I would say these guys are alongside similar 
current acts such as Quo Vadis (Canada) and 
Necrophagist (Germany). Extreme perfectionists with 
their respected instruments! I would suggest visiting 
their home page so you can find out how to order this 
phenomenal album!
