GORGUTS (Tech Death - Canada) dévoile le premier extrait de son prochain EP intitulé 'Pleiadas' Dust' qui sortira le 13 mai prochain chez Season of Mist. Plus de détail au sujet de cet EP sont disponibles en détail de la newz.
Mastermind Luc Lemay comments: "As our EP ‘Pleiades’ Dust’ consists out of a single long narrative composition, it was not written with the intention of being edited in segments. As the storyline proceeds in chapters though, I was able to isolated this part called ‘Wandering Times’ which will give the listener a good idea of the composition aesthetics which are present throughout the whole piece. The lyrics tell the story of the 'House of Wisdom', which is referring to a library that was based in Baghdad sometime between the 8th and the 13th century. There much of the intellectual activity of the Middle Age took place while Europe was stuck in the Dark ages after the fall of Rome. Many scientific discoveries were made at the time such as algebra, optics, astronomy and many more... Without the translation movement that brought this library to life, we would have never had the Renaissance that we know. It is a story about curiosity, beautiful minds and sadly, about how man destroys great discoveries and achievements."
Cover artist Zbigniew M. Bielak adds: " As a child I was fascinated by the Middle East. My uncle used to work on civil engineering contracts in Libya and Iraq, so we kept receiving exotic, mosque-graced postcards throughout the otherwise lacklustre eighties behind the Iron Curtain. I have a genuine affection towards the region’s architecture, climate and aesthetics, therefore it was a pleasure to illustrate Luc Lemay’s new concept album, which is a tribute to the scientific heritage of the Islamic Golden Age. Although the pun of the album title was not intended – as much as NASA supercomputer Pleiades today, Baghdad’s Bayt al-Hikma – The House of Wisdom, epitomized the Middle East’s scientific sophistication. Boasting the largest library of the medieval world, this vibrant multicultural research and educational centre, drew in learned scholars including those of Jewish, Christian or Buddhist origin to translate, preserve and further develop important works of scholarship from across Europe and the Middle East whilst the Occident regressed into Dark Ages. Spanning from the 8th century of our calendar to its symbolic ending with Genghis Khan’s grandson’s bloody Siege of Baghdad in 1258, resulting in obliteration of the House of Wisdom, The Golden Age of Islam left the world much indebted also to its numerous original contributions in diverse fields. From astronomy and medicine, to humanities and mathematics, Islam’s heritage helped pave the way for the rise of the West to its present prominence. The mind-bending intricacy of GORGUTS’ aural landscapes portrayed in this single, over thirty minutes long piece of almost classically structured music, lends an aptly dramatic narrative to the story of a leading civilisation abruptly returned to dust."
Tiens ça me rappelle un peu Negativa le groupe de Steeve Hurdle et Luc Lemay...

" Europe was stuck in the Dark ages after the fall"... "we would have never had the Renaissance that we know."
Faux et archi faux. Il y a eu plus de progrès pendant le moyen age que pendant la renaissance... Ce me donne même pas envie de rentrer dans l’œuvre si elle a été crée a partir de cette vision éroné du passé.

Plus ou moins de progrès, c'est difficile à dire de façon absolument tranché et ça dépend de quoi on parle précisément. Je suis pas un spécialiste de la question mais, pour ce que j'ai pu en lire, il me semble qu'effectivement les historiens (notamment grâce au progrès de l'archéologie) sont pas mal revenus sur l'idée que le moyen-âge fut une période de "régressions" : l'artisanat, l'architecture, l'agriculture etc y ont connus de grand développement...
Néanmoins, ça ne contredit pas le fait que le moyen-orient a connu à la même période de grandes avancées dans les sciences, les lettres, la philosophie... Je n'ai plus les sources précises mais vraisemblablement des chroniqueurs arabes de l'époque voyaient les croisés comme des obscurantistes...
Après le Moyen-age, c'est 1000 ans d'histoire sur l'ensemble de l'Europe. Il s'en passe des transformations en 1000 ans sur un territoire pareil...

Quoiqu'il en soit le concept me plait et je bave d'arriver chez moi pour écouter tout ça.

@ BonjourTristesse: Quelle civilizations ont été les locomotives du progrès durant le Moyen Âge, hum?

Ca y est, le patron est de retour. Colored Sands n'a pas été dépassé dans son style pour moi.
Morceau bien dissonant et mange cerveau. Hâte d'avoir la bête en entier.

Et surtout gros, gros son! Même sur YouTube on arrive à tout bien entendre, c'est aéré et ce kick super naturel (c'était le seul élément qui me faisait un peu tiquer sur Colored Sands)! Wow!
