“The Road So Far” is the third effort by French
metal band Dreamcatcher, so called as a reference to its 20 years of existence
on a road full of obstacles and challenges, without ever giving up.
Currently, the band consists of main man and
founding member Chris Garrel on lead vocals, Alexxandre Qen on bass, Thierry
Thuane on drums and Bastien Lemoine on guitars.
It starts with "Faster, Higher,
Stronger", a fast and furious, "in your face", thrashy song. "It's
a Good Day to Die" and “The Man Who Would Be God” are catchy mid-tempo
songs, with great melodies (guitar and vocal lines) and chorus.
There is a common factor on "The Road So
Far" the dark vibe that we can find especially in "Thunderbird",
"The Woman In White" or "Whitechapel 1888" with particular
emphasis to disturbing atmospheres and guitar cavalcades as we can find on “The
Phoenix will Rise” and “The World Is Falling Apart”.
There are three bonus tracks on the album. Silent
Bloody Night that it's a mashup of the songs Blood on the Snow, originally from
the same title album, and Silent Night, and it sounds darker and different from
the original version. And the acoustic versions of "Mother Earth" and
"Dreamcatcher" that were originally recorded on the album "Blood
on the Snow" from 2017.
In short, this is a solid album, with great
production and more direct approach than the two previous ones. Lyrically we
can find references to Native American culture and the myths of fantastic
literature. The band is ready to hit the road and spread the metal word wherever
it could be.
