Subsignal have picked up where Sieges Even left off with the aptly named Beautiful & Monstrous. I know I was devastated when I heard the news of Sieges Even calling it a day, but to me this is a continuation with some mild differences. Here we have all the amazing melodies with Arno's always amazing vocals, I would say Subsignal are just a notch heavier than Sieges.
Anybody who appreciated the masterpiece " The Art On Navigating By The Stars " will automatically fall in love with Subsignal, not that they are Sieges Even part 2 ( pretty close though ) I am sure the comparisons wont hurt them one bit, the production quality is awesome and The band also has Roel Van Helden on drums formerly of the great band " Sun Caged " Standout tracks are hard to pick because they are all so beautiful but " I Go With The Wind ", " Beautiful & Monstrous " and the heavenly " The Last Light Of The Summer " Arno's voice on this song makes me melt, He really is one of the greatest singers in the world today!!
In finishing I know I have made plenty of references to Sieges Even and thats only natural as anyone who was and still is a fan of that great band would have to be deaf not to hear it. I would like to give this 10 but i feel it just falls short of " Navigating " there I go again with the Sieges reference, In all seriousnes I am just happy Arno and Markus have stayed together to appease a lot of fans with Subsignal and are creating amazing music once again, lets hope for many many more moons to come!!
