The Revolutionary Army Of The Infant Jesus
After The End
Infrastition
Pure ecstasy and musical excellence delivered
by The Revolutionary Army Of The Infant Jesus. This is actually an
anthology which includes the following releases: “The Gift of
Tears” (1987), “Mirror” (1991), “A Rumor Of Angels” (1994):
This one is kind of an unreleased work, it includes most of the
tracks from their last release “Paradis”; and two bonus tracks:
“Suspended Upon A Cross” and “After The End”. The European
record label of the 90’s, Apocalyptic Vision (Requiem In White,
L.A.M., Clair Obscure) re-released ”The Gift Of Tears & La
LIturgie Pour Le Fin Du temps” in 1994. Twenty years later we have
this enormous compilation on Infrastition Records, it is a three CD
anthology.
“After The End” will catch you, it will
take on your senses because this is an entrancing experience. It is
mystical, solemn, spiritual, evocative, exotic, and inspiring. Their
musical work is done with great inspiration and a majestic
musicianship; and this is powerful in its own unique way. Today I have discovered to this awesome
ensemble of gifted artists, they have the ability to move into
different fields of the musical creation; and every record is truly
an experience. This is a combination of Neo Classical-Ethereal,
experimental and electronic music, atmospheric passages, Dark Wave,
and Neo Folk. As a referral I can talk about the ones like: Corvux
Corax, Ataraxia, Dead Can Dance, Death In June, Current 93, Sol
Invictus, In The Nursey….But remember that Revolutionary Army has
been doing this kind of music SINCE THE MID 80’S.
“The Gift Of Tears” has a dominant
Ethereal-Neo Classic sound; it has stunning orchestrations and sober
arrangements, and is powerfully immersive and mystical. In “Mirror”
they combine this evocative music with new elements in their sound;
they are going more experimental and they did this in an awesome way.
“A Rumor Of Angels” has stunning moments with electronic music
and atmospheric arias. As I said before; every Cd in this anthology
is high quality stuff and unique. A must have for people who like of
bands like the ones that I have mentioned above and this will be a
delight for people who want to expand their musical horizon, this is
simply stunning. The great thing about The Revolutionary Army Of The
Infant Jesus; is the fact that they have broken the barrier of time,
their music is timeless and it sounds interesting and innovative. It
was a great experience in their moment, and it is a great and
innovative experience today…..state of being in force.
This release has received extensive coverage by
the specialized media on the internet, because it is really big.
They are currently working, doing a new album,
and I’m looking forward to the new stuff by The Revolutionary Army
Of The Infant Jesus.
