Tracking the Trends: The Italian Embrace
by Jordan Volz
"I've always held the impression that post-rock fans always listed the the best metal. You can easily classify the average instrumental fan as the kid who doesn't like heavy music and screaming and drummers who go through several pairs of sticks in the same song. But that's not true. This type of music fan likes his music loud and fierce as well, but he's just very selective about what types of metal he listens to. It's generally the bands that experiment in the doom and avant-garde genres, bands like Neurosis, Kayo Dot, Isis, Rosetta, and Mouth of the Architect. These are bands that believe that metal isn't an unrelenting assault, but a swift conclusion to an open question. They aren't power hungry or desiring extraneous guitar solos, but they are patient and know that the key to a perfect song rests in execution and not force. One Starving Day is very much that type of band. If I didn't know any better, I'd fashion them a member of the Translation Loss family. All the reviews of Broken Wings Lead Arms to the Sun draw a comparison to the balance between Neurosis and Godspeed You! Black Emperor that this band pulls off. While such comparisons can ultimately be dangerous and divergent for many music listeners, it is clear that One Starving Day is highly influenced by post-rock and the sludge/doom worlds. Spacey instrumental segues lead into a breakdown of metallic riffs and surprisingly smooth drumming. Admittedly, Broken Wings Lead Arms to the Sun is a bit lighter than you might expect from a "metal" band, but you must remember that the band merely picks and borrows from the genre in the creation of its sound. "Black Star Aeon" and "Fate Drainer" are undoubtedly the strong points of this album, but overall One Starving Day offers up a treat with its debut album.
There's many ways in which this band could evolve in the future. The material on Broken Wings Lead Arms to the Sun is actually several years old, which doesn't give an accurate portrayal of where the band is now. Personally, I'd love to see the band step up the notch on its sound and bring the post rock and metallic worlds closer together. Although we have metal bands with post-rock influences, and post-rock bands with metal influences, I still haven't seen a band unite the two with a smooth transition, and I think One Starving Day may be the band most likely to do so. This is quite a burden which I place upon this Italian band, but hopefully they'll be able to deliver a new breed of catharsis in the future--one that is as arty as it is twisted."
