Well, when I saw "BURIAL DREAM" for the first time I thought this might be another doom-like yelling. Thank god (or whoever you want, doesn't matter) I was wrong. Indeed - never judge a book by its cover. I excuse these feelings with fact, that the more I encounter new sludge or post-thingy genre the more irritated I am with first fret/open strings  brutal  smashing, so I felt like I was lessened by holy light (or whatever). I missed the subtle stuff. OK, I forgot it's not a place for my confessions... SARIN is a Post/Experimental Metal band from the country of maples and free healthcare. Rockin' since 2012 they recorded two albums. "BURIAL DREAM" came on 17th January, is 7 tracks and almost 39 minutes long. And hey, You don't see yellow CD art covers very often, do you? Just a random thought.

So what this yellow, sticking from the ground hand gives us? Emotions! I had many antagonistic feelings during the listening. One thing is sure: catharsis. Just listen to "Monograph". Really calm opening. Nothing heralds a hurricane. You remember the last scene in "Fight Club" with crumbling buildings? This song fits into this moment just as good as the Pixies one. Despite of the fact this might be an anthem of decadence, its most building up track on the album. Other are more depressive but I'll talk about this a bit later.

SARIN plays subtle and fits into Post Metal convention. They play sparingly. Songs are really loose so you can pick a guitar and start jamming. I don't actually mind, it lefts a lot of space to imagination, but surely it might have been much more distinct. Especially when everyone who encountered them, found a lot of similarities to ISIS, and significant part of the album is made of ambient tracks. The balance between light and hard pats is great but these ambient tracks diffuses the album which might in some cases cause some to become weary. There is enough tension in "regular tracks". And yeah, this tension is good. For example "As Well As The Body" where waves of clean and over-driven guitar hits us alternately. I won't be able of getting rid of these clean parts in my head for quite some time. I was able to describe and discuss the album more accurately, but I came to conclusion that it's senseless, because I'm sure everyone will have different feelings about this. I believe in (partial) objective views in reviews but in this case its needless. The album strongest side is the incredible ability to touch, yet not everyone will stay under its spell for long. Album could be improved in thousands  ways, and become more expressive and clear, yet it's still really amazing and enjoyable. I had hard inner fight how to rate this. Simple Good should be fair. You can listen to SARIN on Bandcamp or even YouTube. Below is "As Well As The Body" which I mentioned before.<
