8.5 out 0f 10Do you remember that scene in The Fifth Element when that lady sang "operatic" style over some orchestration and "funky" electronics? If you're like me, and you do remember that, you were probably left with wanting more. The idea of mixing something in the music world with such "high class" over a modern/pop "flare" such as electronics or even rock music is intriguing to me.
On Duality, Die Form's third release, Philippe Fichot perfects his unique art from of mixing modern electronic/industrial landscapes, dramatic strings/synths, perverse sexuality and yes, Gregorian, or "operatic" style vocals. Duality mixes all of these elements so perfectly it's no wonder I believe this album to be one of the crowning achievements of the Gothic/Industrial scene.
If you're at all an Industrial/Goth fan I would consider this release ESSENTIAL. If you're at all a fan of music with strong dramatic elements give Die Form a whirl. Turn off the lights, burn some candles, and prepare to isolate yourself from the world. Die Form is more than just music, or an artistic statement. Die Form is "seraphic" imagination with contemporary elements as seen through the eyes of Marquis de Sade.
