/Dark folk, Synth noir, Neofolk, Singer-songwriter, Apocalyptic folk, Dark wave, Heavy metal, Electronic, Experimental, Conceptual/Comment: The Australian Angus Maiden is a busy man, who used to be running the label Tribal Dancing Kid and who has released a bunch of albums under the pseudonym Peach Tree. The recent album is inspired by 21st December 2012 and the Mayan Prophecies. However, through those 11 tracks are represented the dominating dark folk-ish line (those lavish guitar strums), spacious synth noir overthrows, teeth gnashing heavy rock-ish guitar riffs, naive-shiny stompings or primitive burblings, and sweaty chopped-up chords-breakbeats. By the vocal characteristics Maiden does add either dark-tinged manners or high-tempered oppression. An intriguing concept, interesting sounds, and indeed - no sense to be denied- quite rational expectations/conceivable scenarios against this fucked-up world/simulacrum. So let`s see will the whole be restarted or not.
