Description
Annemarie and her bandmates tell a story, a story that is extremely surreal. From the obsessive love of a woman to a swan ( “Choking Swans”). Because the bird supposedly does not reciprocate this affection, it strangles him. (Let me forgive the simplification of this psychological problem). On stage, then the swan feathers fly. To describe the emotional life of a woman, Viper Soup Complex uses a variety of stylistic devices of progressive rock and metal. Hectic melody and rhythm changes, hectic musical competition of guitar and keyboard. And the story of the woman continues, so she sets a trap, a trap for a man in turquoise clad who comes from Mars (“Turquoise on Mars”). The woman manipulates the man’s mind and body (“Taxidermy Hotel”). The singer shows all facets of her voice here, from powerful clear vocals to operatic soprano to angry growls. She flatters, she manipulates, she commands. And for this story, the musicians spend a lot of time. Apart from the melodic instrumental interlude “Embers”, no song is shorter than six minutes. “Taxidermy Hotel” and “Vertebra” are even longer than twelve minutes. The closing song “Vertebra” also shows parallels between this nightmarish narrative and actual life. Just as the captive man applauds the victory of his predator, many people also celebrate their governments completely without prejudice. Even if they exploit the people mercilessly.
