InsomniousNightLift review, Golden Lake Productions' Magazine #3
Thanatoschizo (Port) "InsomniousNightlift" CD'03
This sextet sounds dark and varied, reminiscent of Opeth, but with less of a destructive punch than Deliverance or Blackwater Park. No, ThanatoSchizo instead build their music on good guitar ideas, keyboards, and Patricia Rodriguez's excellent clean vocal delivery. On the first song "Reminder," which lasts a glorious 10 minutes, the group does a shockingly good job creating a song with as much stability as Opeth and with plenty of variation from gentler, acoustic stuff to thick, heavy, metal guitars and growled vocals. The best part of this album, though not the disc's best song, is "Sublime Loss," because it shows Lacuna Coil and the like what they should be doing with their music instead of fucking around with bad male vocals and weak compositions. A great album, recommended.
