Baal, Mephisto and Diablos is a mega-collaboration project by top underground Japanese acts Savage Scream. Noise Gust and Far East Ghost.
Baal is the project made by Savage Scream and Noise Gust, and have already released a number of singles and repeatedly appeared in Goa Gil's "Divine Dozen". Many freaks may remember "Strawberyy Chocolate", the heavy underground sounding single that betrays its sweet title.
Mephisto, a unit that consists of Noise Gust and Far East Ghost, will be making their debut release on this disc. The track, "Necromancer club", has also appeared in the latest Divine Dozen and is already eagerly anticipated by many people.
Finally, Diablos is the collaboration unit by Savage Scream and Far East Ghost. Their first track, a fierce piece of psychedelic music, is scheduled to have first track release on Triplag Music V.A. Trip Formation (July 2008). Although it is the least known project of the three and has been shrouded in mystery, the secret will soon be unveiled to the world.
The three projects cannot simply be described as versus tracks, but rather through the dynamism of each unique collaboration, a new flavor has emerged that will elevate psychedelic music to the next level.
Each project will present three tracks, plus a special last track by all three artists, called Blizzard -- Terror's End, will add up to the 10 previously unheard tracks that can be found on this split album -- "Lords of Destruction". The end of summer 2008 will be the time where the true identity of these 3 projects will finally be unleashed!
Reviews
Review by AnixGleo:
We have 3 brave and resourceful Japanese (Mizuki Nishihata, Kagetoshi Nakamura and Takeomi Matsuura), who personify three of their projects (Baal, Mephisto and Diablos)...
but not the way you'd think they would. Asian dexterity is evident: the guys separated into 3 groups, 2 in each. I haven't noticed a pronounced distinction between the music tracks of these virtual teams, however if it works out for them - we'll accept and support!
Their music bears similarity with the drama of puppet theatre: passing comical lightness coupled with imminent chaos.
Each track starts as if out of nothing, but then bit by bit a harmonic sound stream assembles. Synths excite and overwhelm at the same time. Resembling a bait, they tell you more than you expect to be hear. The fuss & hiss in high range, which modern day "dark" music is plagued with, is quite meaningful here. High ranges are maintained for the whole duration of the tracks, but devoid of soup of annoying glitches, which could 'turn off' the listener seeking to be delivered from it. Everything seems legit, details merely emphasize the main drive 'pulling the cart' forward without obstructing the 'wheels'.
Special emphasis is brought to the music by the low range. Japanese didn't slave the fashion by accentuating the lows, but diversified them instead. There is plenty of it here - lax or viscous or swinging... There is not much sense in trying to find a proper adjective to describe it - easier to put the music on and give it a go.
A lot of attention is given to intros. Dry bass kick at the start (that is so convenient for mixing but so dull to listen to) is not always there. It's hidden at times to trigger a natural flow of metamorphose of sounds.
It's a pity there is no traditional Japanese instruments. It could enhance the ambiance of the Far Eastern enigma that we're intuitively aware of. However, random ethnic undertones surface up in kaleidoscope of synthetic trance patterns, not as themes, but the hints of artists'
origin.
Japanese ability to work hard is well known, but the other side of the coin is that they break away from it with a full swing... perhaps even better than Finns or Russians do. Their music reflects the rhythm of the Empire of the Sun - evolved sharpened automatism, the future, that comes closer by the day though enormously hard work.
That is how the philosophical context of the album has been revealed to me.
Listen good,
Sincerely yours, Anix Gleo.
