I had been looking around at the many electro/industrial artists for awhile, and was finding it hard to actually decide what to listen to.
It eventually dawned on me to just dive right in, and see what came up. I had, had my eye on the Tryd page for awhile - going so far as to bookmark it for later - so I thought why not?
I'm truly glad I downloaded a copy of the demo, for I was well and truly blown away by it.
The atmospheric harmonies, the angelic female vocals (noted in several other reviews) ...... wow! I really don't know how to describe it fully.
No, really I don't. Honest.
And this is meant to be a demo!? Everything sounds ... so organic ... it's almost as if every time you listen to it, there is something new to pick-up.
If you are open-minded, and willing to try something different musically (this coming from a guy with tastes predominately of the punk/metal/rock variety) then if you do nothing else, at least check this out.
The nearest comparison I can come up with (and again, you can blame my usual musical bias here), is so kind of ethereal hybrid of later day The Gathering, and Arcturus' 'Sideshow Symphonies', but in a more electro (hardly the best adjective, but it is the best I can think of at the moment) and god knows what else that lies just outwith my grasp.
I dare you to be ambivalent about Tryd and their music, this is real cobweb-clearing stuff.
I will be definetely be recommending this to my friends. (And checking out the other Tryd albums on Jamendo of course lol!)
