Those first shoots of creativity have now flowered with the arrival of Final Coil’s full length debut album, Persistence Of Memory. Dense, rich riffs are driven forward by pulsing rhythms as beautiful vocal harmonies speak to the heart and the mind of the listener. Fluid guitar leads dance across muscular song structures, painting the liquid steel of the songs in an explosion of colour and emotion. Metallic strength and power is transformed through progressive musicianship, but emotive melodies unlock the songs, opening their doors to all. Deftly mastered by Cult Of Luna’s Magnus Lindberg and cloaked in sumptuous artwork created by Andy Pilkington (Flotsam And Jetsam), Persistence Of Memory is a perfect shining jewel of an album.
Step out of the tumult. Take the time to remember the true value of artistic endeavour. Leave the rocky shallows and dive into the unfathomable depths of the still waters of Persistence Of Memory.
