Recorded with Kris Crummett (Kaddisfly, Fear Before The March Of Flames), “First Temple” is a debut album by a band who fits right in between the Coheed & Cambria’s and Damiera’s on Equal Vision’s roster. With jagged guitar riffs and soaring vocals, a comparison with The Mars Volta (when they were still writing actual songs) isn’t too far-fetched either, except that these guys are way more accessible thanks to some Damiera-like danceable parts. Just check out “Sweet#hart” which sounds spastic as hell until the catchy chorus kicks in.
It’s not anything new but Closure In Moscow did record a debut album that wouldn’t look out of place wedged in between your copy of “De-loused In The Comatarium” and “In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth : 3”. If you don’t like frenetic guitars and high-pitched yelps, please shy away.
Score: 7 out of 10
