Thee Orakle - "Smooth Comforts False" (2012)

[LuisPedro [RIP 2012/05/28]]

Peço desculpa as bandas nacionais, mas eu ultimamente não tenho dado grande atenção ao metal nacional. Sei que há grandes bandas, mas não vos sei explicar...

Viva Pessoal,

Que grande álbum, que grande BANDA!

Quando ouvi a primeira vez, pensava que era uma banda do estrangeiro.

A produção está excelente, um álbum bastante equilibrado, e não comete aqueles erros primários de quem descobriu que a melodia também faz parte do metal.

O 1.º lugar do metal nacional começa a ficar bastante disputado (cuidado Moonspell).

NOTA: 3,8 (0/5)

Obrigado pelas palavras!

A Heaven is not too far em mais uma critica a "Smooth Comforts False"!

"Depois do impacto de “Metaphortime”, pode dizer-se que o seu sucessor era bastante aguardado. Três anos depois, a expectativa dá lugar à satisfação, perante a qualidade deste “Smooth Comforts False”.
9/10

Não é bem o meu género, mas parece-me bem tocado. Gostei das vozes. Chamou-me a tenção o facto do Adolfo Canibal participar no album. Pelo que percebi tem uma intervenção discreta. Mas gosto sempre de o ouvir.

Mais duas reviews a "Smooth Comforts False"!

The German Obliveon Magazine also talks about Thee Orakle's second album! With a high score (8/10) RB says that:

(...)"Die Songs sind recht straight, aber auch mit komplexen Arrangements aufgebaut und fordern so förmlich heraus, dass man sich mit „Smooth Comfort False“ mehrfach beschäftigt und so immer wieder neue Facetten entdeckt und lieben lernt."(...)

From Hallowed.se comes another review about "Smooth Comforts False" 4/7:
(...)"This means that this is an album that is falling within the kind of music I enjoy, music that requires both time and attention, music that is not instantly absorbed, music that isn’t bothering with the rules, and a female singer. So this album has to be good, after all it has everything an album needs and it is not longer than just over 40 minutes as well."(...)

Vera from METAL-NOSE (Netherlands) talks about Thee Orakle and our new album "Smooth Comforts False": (8/10)
"It is obvious that the band has worked hard to create this album and I give them a fair chance that they will be able to put themselves on the metal map outside Portugal with this Mediterranean cooperation."

Mais uma excelente review a "Smooth Comforts False", vinda da Holanda!

Now it's Zwaren Metalen webzine speaking: (score 84/100)

(...) "There is too much for a structured piece of writing. It is never at the expense of the metal work, but there is a surreal angles, somewhere between eccentric and brilliant. Illustrating run them at the end between a Hitler speech and ends the album with a "Sieg Heil". THEEatraal album!"

The British webzine/blog SUICIDE SCRIPTURES talks about "Smooth Comforts False" on a very sensual way while downloading pornography:

(...)" These guys (and one girl, but we’ll get to her in a minute) I feel for the most part are quite good at this incorporation, although the use is far more subtle (...) ; like a comforting balm of brass, as opposed to some sort of sophisticated bludgeoning device. (...) Do them a favour and buy the album or at least see them live if they ever play in your country; they definitely deserve recognition and support."

STEREO INVADERS from Italy!

"(...)Full-lenght elegante, che non risparmia personalità e voglia di avventurarsi su lidi inesplorati. Non c’è nulla di rivoluzionario, ci teniamo a specificarlo, ma sia dal punto di vista tecnico che di idee, i musicisti riescono nella difficile impresa di non risultare ridondanti.(...)"

Thoughts Of Metal talks about our new album "Smooth Comforts False"!

"THEE ORAKLE continue to prove what a great band they are, even if they are far from the popularity of MOONSPELL, for example. These guys and girl deserve to be heard and even tour in Europe. “Smooth Comforts False”, offering Gothic/Death/Doom Metal with Jazzy influences, is without the smallest doubt one of the best releases of 2012. Sounds like a standard phrase, but as it’s applicable, I use it."
