Kaul
is a duo from Los Angeles, California, that was formed a few years ago when
Paul Calder
and Kian Ahmadian met while working on
Matt Groening's well-known TV series Futurama.
Both these guys have been working on several other film projects, Paul
as an editor and Kian as writer, director and sound designer.
You can easily notice the soundtrack tendencies on this demo cd
from these two multi-talented guys.
The songs on this demo also sound very different from one another with
everything from rather aggressive black metal sounds
to soft darkwave and classical influences. They
label themselves as a darkwave metal band and perhaps that is the best way to
classify them
although their music defies all attempts of doing this.
The
cd opens up with a very impressive and powerful track called "In
Cold"
which shows the band at their best with powerful vocals,
both clean and growling ones.
Even though the rest of the songs fail to impress me as much as that one they
are all enjoyable and works above all
very well as background music which is probably a result of their movie making
backgrounds.
I would describe their music as a mix of darkwave, black metal and gothic
rock.
As you understand there is always a very dark atmosphere that surrounds
every song.
Kaul
is an interesting band and they have managed to achieve something very
important in today's world --
they don't sound like every other band.
