Rating: I saw that no one has written a review of "On the Line of the Horizon Between This Life of Mine and Everyone's" yet, so I tried to write one myself.
Brief history of Raein: they were formed in 2002 in Forlì from the union of La Quiete and Neil on impression. In a few years, they made a name for themselves in Europe thanks to their aggressive and sharp sound reminiscent of Orchid, "Il N'y A pas D'orchestre" is the striking proof of that.
In 2005, they disbanded, but after a few years, they started playing again and in 2011 came "On the Line of the Horizon Between This Life of Mine and Everyone's." Perhaps less aggressive in sound but still unmistakably Raein.
The album opens with "If at Night I Dream, I Dream of Being a Marathon Runner", an introduction that's a whole program in itself. Guitars intersect, overlap, and intertwine in a schizophrenic waltz, a drumset that is certainly clearer and more defined compared to previous works but still solid and not at all boring. An shouted, unclear vocal line that often gets mixed up with all the other instruments.
"Nirvana" the anthem sung as Mimi from Massimo Volume might probably sing it. A crescendo that engages more and more verse after verse. Not surprisingly, one of the most known and listened tracks.
The guitar riff of "Constellation According to the Laws of Chance".
The lyrics of "Noise.three":
"You are always. You are the nature of things, and you resonate, resonate with the sound of the idea, speak of the idea of the world.
You are a fact, a moment of purity, a moment in which one does not remember being present,
they are the ones who have memory of us, you know.
We are about to lean on the ground. you no longer belong to yourself. You are free.
And it is time to step forward, it is time to kill the intermediaries and sink the hands into the matter, pure. Over the creation, rebuild!"
Words that cryptically speak of the death of a loved one. How now they are "free." How it is also the moment to react.
Perhaps because of a recent bereavement have I interpreted this song this way. The fact remains that it continues to be my favorite lyrics.
"Today I Decided to Become Gold" and use the fingers to make way between the lines (quote). Understand that the reality of things is not always in front of our eyes, rather much of the time you have to look for it among many nuances and mirrors.
But the two songs I like to listen to the most, are at the end, and they are "After Us Freedom" that is the need to stop the frenzy and take a moment to reflect on who one is and what one really wants; and afterward "Like Infinite Matter" with its long tail, like the calm after the storm, here lies the worthy end and conclusion.
In the end, the concluding and fundamental questions are: "What is inside this music and these lyrics? What have they conveyed to me?", I will try to answer.
The Raein have the taste of gray, self-destruction, non-glory, a faded autumn afternoon, an old and rusted abandoned station. Certain things are not easy to accept and remember, but they must be faced and understood. But not by feeling sorry for oneself. This is what "on the line of the horizon between this life of mine and everyone else" is for me, such a bitter resignation that it almost talks. A cry of despair against the non-reason of this era, at the same time a cry of hope for the few who remain. A combative journey through one's own grayness.
