Bilocate
Another country is presented on these pages for the first time.
This shouldn't come as a huge surprise -- Israel has had a
number of good metal bands emerge in recent years, so
why not a band from neighboring Jordan?
Bilocate is that band, self-releasing
Dysphoria in 2005.
Some put this band in the doomdeath category, which is
partially accurate, but there's also some black metal
influences (the guitar tone and style), and a good array
of mood changes throughout to keep things interesting.
Production-wise, this does sound like a self-produced
effort, with tinny drums and the guitars sometimes too
fuzzy in tone -- not enough to be a major detriment, but
in this day and age it seems practically every new
album is pristinely produced, and
Dysphoria clearly isn't.
To the band's credit, though, it's got some good ideas,
a fair bit of originality, and a willingness to explore, what
with one song over 11 minutes and the closer,
"A Desire To Leave" almost 20 minutes long.
There's some work to do before this band reaches the
major leagues, but they're off to a good start.
They're continuing to persevere, with subsequent albums released
in 2008 and 2012.
