Seven)Suns – One of Us Is the Killer (2023)

In the field of cover albums, exotic interpretations occur sometimes. In addition to the common “classics in a rock arrangement” or “famous melodies in a new way”, it happens that artists radically rethink previously released material and offer the listener an unconventional solution.

🇺🇸 The New York string quartet Seven)Suns is one of those collective that love to surprise. They adapt a variety of works and ideas to their style of playing so that you simultaneously hear the original work and something that is completely different.

Today’s album is one of the late ones by The Dillinger Escape Plan, significant leaders of the mathcore scene. Contradictory, furious and built on dissonances, it is clearly not intended for performance on classical instruments.

Mathcore on violins? Yes, a reasonable question. But, turning off the protests and the associations that arise, you can simply let these intricate rhythmic waves into your world and experience strange and mixed feelings on their crests. Seven)Suns performed the album in its entirety, and this also has its own meaning.
