The Soul Of A Thousand Years riporta sulle scene una delle pi\u00f9 longeve ed importanti band della scena stoner rock scandinava. Con il nuovo album gli svedesi puntano decisamente in alto, continuando il percorso intrapreso con il precedente Under the Influence e muovendo un ulteriore passo al di fuori dello stoner in direzione di un hard rock\/metal raffinato, come recita esplicitamente la bio allegata al promo in mio possesso. Personalmente ho trovato anche molte atmosfere pi\u00f9 cupe rispetto ai precedenti lavori, influenzate forse da quella frangia del metal che predilige visioni pi\u00f9 gotiche e dark; la caratteristica carica rock e il suono delle chitarre rimangono per\u00f2 il trade-mark inconfondibile della band, assieme alla voce di Lasse che album dopo album \u00e8 cresciuta e migliorata, raggiungendo in questo capitolo una piena maturit\u00e0 riuscendo a gestire con padronanza e personalit\u00e0 tutte le tracce in cui viene chiamata in causa. Notevole anche la produzione, che si assesta su ottimi livelli.
\nAlcuni pezzi abbastanza tirati (Eating Me Slowly e soprattutto la vertiginosa My Friend) e molti mid-tempo vanno a formare il lavoro in questione, assieme ad alcuni intermezzi strumentali e ad una oscura ballata perlopi\u00f9 acustica intitolata Scars, un piccolo inquietante gioiello nella collezione degli Awesome Machine. Nell\u2019album \u00e8 stato incluso anche il pezzo Black Hearted Son, gi\u00e0 proposto lo scorso anno su un limitato 7 pollici (gi\u00e0 recensito su Perkele.it), nonch\u00e9 un pezzo dark\/doom molto oscuro (forse il pi\u00f9 oscuro mai proposto dal gruppo), dal sintomatico titolo Deadly Caress. Molto bella anche la title track, molto suggestiva e lievemente psichedelica nel suo incedere lento e vagamente epico, posta in conclusione del succulento programma offertoci dagli Awesome Machine: un album dal notevole potenziale\u2026 chi fermer\u00e0 la corsa di questa macchina spaventosa?!<\/p>\n
