Avant-garde? Black metal? Both I suppose. The Mother and the Enemy has black metal elements, but can more easily be defined as avant-garde. Hell, does your run-of-the-mill black metal band incorporate trip-hop and jazz? Probably not. And did I mention the band includes Decapitated members Vogg (guitar) and Martin (bass)?Around track three, "Architecture," is when things start getting jazzy. After beginning with a short jazz interlude, raspy vocals jump in and the jazz vibe disappears...but only temporarily. Interestingly, the song includes frequent parts that were written to sound like improvisational jazz. Track five, "Yet Another Armageddon," contains no metal sound whatsoever (it features a female vocals and sounds like a jazz/trip-hop/electronic blend) and the following track, "Gambit," has a strong industrial influence. The album even ends on a trip-hop note with a female-fronted non-metal track. How does that strike you?
Like much avant-garde metal, this may be one of those albums that takes a few listens before it clicks.
