Description
Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover
Germany’s The Intersphere are being heavily marketed to the metal and hard rock markets, which might not be the best strategy considering they’re better aligned with the alt scene. Then again, that doesn’t necessarily cover their sound either. There is definitely a lot going on Relations In The Unseen. Plenty of different elements ranging from classic rock n roll, pop, punk to indie and post-rock, spiced by a bit of prog aside. Relations In The Unseen sees the band pushing the envelope further down the musical trajectory. The songs on Relations in the Unseen are done in a standard 3-to-5 minute format, and that is one of this band’s biggest creative value. The Intersphere makes appealing music, but it doesn’t necessarily reflect on the sole purpose of reaching the mainstream, but rather to show that this music knows how to be simple and complex in the same time. If I go with the comparisons, the first few names coming on mind are Von Hertzen Brothers, Muse and Dredg. There are many similarities between The Intersphere and mentioned artists, but only in the style they tend to follow. However, with the fourth album Mannheim’s quartet shows the maturity on every step. Relations In The Unseen is a sonic solution that encompasses the unique and an intriguing set of songs with style and flair. With blueprints that demand both sophistication and aggressiveness, the band genuinely sounds like they are on fire. No matter is it their most tense or most emotional moment, they manage to loose their inhibitions knowingly. The progressiveness of this music doesn’t prove by employment of odd-time signatures, but rather through a skilfully conveyed compositions that sound fresh and enjoyable. With this release, The Intersphere have immediately cast themselves as a vital new voice of rock. The results of the talent mergence each one in the band brings to the table show that originality is not a long-forgotten term. Get it while it’s hot!
