Description

No, this is no way related to Madonnas family, in fact hidden behind this strange moniker there is a quarto of musicians based around Copenhagen, Denmark. They play a blend of hard rock with some alternative overtones and a few prog metal twists. Their debut album entitled Within Our Parameters was recorded at CB Studios with producer, Christian Bonde. Their inclination to furnish some great harmonies is obvious, displayed again and again with great triumph all over the ten tracks of this album, their melodic temper is clearly their strongest asset, inspired by the American sound of the late 2000s with a tendency to find a quirky gimmick or a strange pattern in order to find a fresh dynamic pace. The well done layered vocal trick is working perfectly giving a thick identity, another sonic parameter is the groovy mania that make the whole sounding like a strange cross between a Metallized Offrpinsg meets Freak Kitchen (Lust Among Lies) meets early Creed. Liars and Gallows or Sleep are perfectly in concordance with my above comments and Ciccone Ritchies characteristic expression and energy. And FourDoubleSixSixFour is the best cut by far, the most Progressive song recalling the great band Engine fronted by Ray Alder (Fates Warning / Redemption). My only concern is about the relative similarities between the songs, indeed if the structures are differently crafted, the main specific tint remains in the same uniformity method (Dear Ancestry) it’s a little confusing in the course of the full listening experience. Ciccone Ritchie definitively holds a true distinguishing sound and they should work particularly on this in order to preserve this identity, but in the same time they should going for more diversity and expand its writing abilities to other band members.
