Review from Metal Temple

This month I had the great pleasure of reviewing two doom / death metal bands. The first one was the Greek IMMENSITY and now the Russian NEGATIVE VOICE, both released by Hypnotic Dirge Records. In their second album entitled "Cold Redrafted", they bring a refined and very elaborate sound. Led by Andrey "Obscurus" Samsonov (guitar), the band was founded in 2000 and remained active until 2004, having three demos released. After that per...

Possedevo soltanto un ricordo parziale dei Negative Voice, uno dei tanti nomi che distrattamente mi erano passati in testa per un periodo e del quale oggi invece mi trovo a scrivere. A distanza di tre anni dalla pubblicazione del primo lavoro "Infinite Dissonance", che mi sono premurato di ascoltare e riascoltare, la formazione si rifà viva con un secondo disco intitolato "Cold Redrafted" decisamente bello.

Il quartetto russo ...

Eight songs fill this album, which has been released by Hypnotic Dirge Records and BadMoodMan Music. Negative Voice are from Moscow and somehow they incorporate Doom, Progressive Metal, Post-Metal, Death Metal, and Black Metal within this medley. From the very first song, ‘Limitation’, it's a musical dive into melodies, changing tempos and great creativity.

The band have not really labelled themselves to any genre or style and h...

Los amantes del black/doom/death metal están de enhorabuena con este último trabajo de NEGATIVE VOICE “Cold, Redrafted”. Esta banda procedente de Rusia, más concretamente de su capital Moscú, tras su debut “Infinite Dissonance”, mucho más agresivo, experimenta nuevos caminos en este trabajo editado a través de Hypnotic Dirge Records, donde introducen nuevos elementos como voces limpias, toques progresivos…, supera...

Está visto que lo que está de moda hoy en día es el Post Black Metal o bien el Black Metal con un suave tinte de Doom. ¡Ojo! No es una queja solo un apunte. Lo comento ya que últimamente estoy notando la misma tendencia de lanzar grupos y más grupos de Post Black Metal, Post-cualquiergenero o Doom/Cualquiergenero a la estratosfera de la misma forma que pasó con el Core y todos sus subgéneros durante los años 2007 y posterio...

La sinergia tra Hypnotic Dirge Records e Solitude Productions inizia a sortire ottimi risultati. Ne è l'esempio lampante il nuovo album dei russi Negative Voice, il secondo per il quartetto moscovita, intitolato 'Cold Redrafted' e vera sorpresa per il sottoscritto, che aveva sottovalutato i nostri nel 2013, quando uscì 'Infinite Dissonance'. Ascoltato il nuovo lavoro, mi sono dovuto ricredere invece sulle potenzialità, all'epo...

Sie kommen aus Moskau und gründeten sich bereits im Jahr 2000. Allerdings erschien ihr Debütalbum "Infinite Dissonanz" erst im Jahre 2013. Dieses zweite Album nennt sich "Cold Redrafted" und strahlt schon vom Cover her Kälte aus. Ihr Doom mit teils Deathvocals klingt aber eher wohlig warm. Mit dem Eröffner "Limitation" dieser Platte bauen sie langsam Druck auf, und das passiert ihnen immer wieder nach entspannteren Phasen mit liebli...

Well someone has come from the Black Emo Doom/ Avant metal realm and wanted to put there stamp on it as this reminds me of bands like  KLMT 1918, Katatonia, Antimatter, Daylight Dies, Moonspell and Paradise Lost. The band has a mastery of melancholy and despair in the music that they create. The gothic/ cold wave over tones white washed into the metallic style really make you feel the sorrow and pain in the music that Negative voice...

Ritroviamo i russi Negative Voice qualche anno dopo l’esordio su lunga distanza, Infinite Dissonance, che ne aveva messo in luce le potenzialità in qualità di band autrice di un death doom melodico di grande prospettiva.

Oggi il gruppo si ripresenta con diverse novità: infatti, oltre ad essere diventato un quartetto con l’ingresso del bassista di Alex Nikolskiy ad affiancare Evgeniy Loginov (voce e chitarra), Andrey Samsonov (chitarra)...

Russian Negative Voice is a band in the crossfire from many neighbouring genres.
Imagine a busy intersection where flickering headlights fly by while sun and moon chases each other rapidly across the screen in a time-lapse video.
In a small enclosure in the middle of this crossing, however, time passes slowly. There, Negative Voice performs their progressive form of dark doom. 

With elements, partly of a technical nature, partly in mood, ...

Let's get a bit more extreme, not necessarily faster but certainly darker and harsher. I'd like to turn your attention to the second album by Moscow (Russia) residents Negative Voice. It's an album that shows how a band can evolve, transcend genre-boundaries and reinvent whatever they do. It is presented as blackened doom metal, but there's so much more to this album and it's definitely worth your attention.

The album opens with the e...

Negative Voice is a band from Moscow that shows a sound like a Russian Opeth: the songs are long, it follows one metric, and it relies heavily on the changes of phrases like a thousand sounds gathered together.

The track Limitation shows this kind of approach and it’s clearly a carbon copy of the Swedish act.

Even the timbres of the guitars are Opeth-esque as shown in the track City Of Decaying Gaze with clean vocals and harsh vocal...

Não são muitos os discos que deixam o ouvinte apaixonado logo no primeiro instante, mas “Cold Redrafted”, dos russos Negative Voice, é um dos casos que agarra logo. Este é o segundo longa-duração de uma banda formada em 2000 e que, inclusivamente, já passou por um hiato. As notas iniciais são tão cativantes que, depois disso, as expectativas sobem tanto que um resto menos conseguido pode deixar qualquer um cabisbaixo. Mas nada h...

Here's an interesting band: Russia's Negative Voice. They merge different extreme metal genres flawlessly, with a melodic flare that keeps the music very balanced and dynamic, and isn't merely blasting for 30 or 40 minutes (not that there's a thing wrong with that). From what their Facebook page says they're a four piece, and they just released their sophomore album, "Cold Redrafted" via Hypnotic Dirge Records. I've been listen...

Released next Monday, Cold Redrafted is the second full-length album by Moscow band Negative Voice. They're specialists in blackened, death-infused doom metal, and, if this record's anything to go by, there's a real progressive attitude behind a brand of beautifully played metal that respects no boundary. This is a thoroughly enjoyable second outing. The album ends with 'Draft Life', which rumbles along with a thickness of inte...
