Hello everyone, Mark here. Just wanted to post some exciting news I just received. First of all, I just got confirmation that a page for StT has been created at Music for Film & Television. 3 songs available for now. Hopefully, anyone interested in having StT music in their film project, TV show or ad, etc. can now do that. Here’s the link:
Next piece of news is in regards to our latest album “The Culmination.” I just confirmation that the first review off “The Culmination” is now posted. Thanks to Ulf Backstrom from Merlin Prog in Norway for the excellent review. The original review was in Norwegian, so I had to translate it, but if you wish to read the original review, you can go to http://www.merlinprog.com/nordamerika.htm Enjoy. Here’s the translated version, some of it is still a little choppy, but you get the idea.
With “The Culmination” Mark Mendieta completes his concept that stretched over four albums. News from the previous disc is a much better production, and now it is consequently no problem to take in poetry. This eloquent and thoughtful lyrics tonsettes with an amalgam of Prog that colored with darkness of doom, and it is refined further and added a few pinches of new age and above an ambient atmosphere. In keeping with the band name is the music of Subject to Thoughts characterized by a wealth of different moods and thoughts. It is also important to point out that Mark Mendieta offer themselves on this album, and the music is really genuine cases. To visualize this we offer the words to “Since the inception,” “Now that the sunset has faded away / / I follow the engaging light/ / As I hear the echo from afar / / As if someone is calling my name / / / Life has flashed before my eyes / As temptation has now emptied its sins / / It’s time to seek the redemption / / That I inspired to find / / / Chorus: Since the inception / / My eyes have seen / / The judgment that awaits / / / Chorus: Since the inception / / My eyes have seen. “thought-provoking text, and when the music also stands out from the crowd is an encounter with music and lyrics on “The Culmination” something that can easily be just as challenging as the real music lover wants. The topics involved in this album to find the answers to life’s big questions, and it’s not exactly a small project. The music on “The Culmination” is a somewhat harder than its predecessor, “From Sunrise to Sunset” and the songs conjure up emotions that are different from most we have heard ever. The voice of Brandon Strader is almost tailored to these musical landscapes, and adds just the right touches of the suggestive element. Mark Mendieta controls with most on this album, and put in the shelter of this is his instrumental brewing ring most impressive. The guitars often makes a very strong impression, and gives just the right doom infected injection here, and not least it is Mendieta brilliant when he moves into more ambient theme as the disc is brimming off. For those who like dark Prog with strong ambient light touch to “The Culmination” drill jammed in the cerebral cortex and stay there by virtue of their hypnotic musical effect. Then, when the expression is sufficiently distinctive to this album definitely be something to check out for those who feel at home in the said musical segments
