Métal Intégral - Review / SIENA ROOT

Celestial roots

Approximate translation of the review

To reduce the Swedes by SIENA ROOT to a nth group of Rock Stoner or retro would be a serious error. Admittedly, it is literally impossible to deny that the group was massively influenced by the Rock of end of the year 60 and the Seventies. The group melted its influences in a crucible from where one runs Rock fundamentally adventurous and electric, favourable with the instrumental cavalcades close to the jam and gorged with Eastern influences.

After four albums studio since 2004, SIENA ROOT offer a copious double live particularly successful. The most electric aspects, not to say Hard, will like nostalgic of CREAM, TEN YEARS AFTER, of the ALLMAN BROTHERS (in definitely heavier), of MOUNTAIN and other formations pionnières with hinge 60’s-70’s ; nearer to us in time, one could evoke the frame of mind suitable for GOV' T MULE. Judge rather: enormous base lines played into lead (the shade of Jack BRUCE of CREAM and Felix PAPPALARDI of MOUNTAIN planes), of the guitars in turn wild and swift, a beater which requests its toms constantly and its cymbals, a quite misty organ, compositions long, mainly instrumental. When a song - female or male - intervenes, the priority is given to the feeling, with the expressivity, rather than with aggressiveness.

the characteristic of SIENA ROOT is to have begun again on its account the interest that the Rock psychédélique one carried to the Eastern musics in these remote decades. From where the extremely successful and amusing inclusion of sitar or flute in full dialogue epic with the guitars. It is not a question there of an exoticism cheaply but well of a perfect and often hypnotic fusion between the culture of Rock hard and the East. The voyage is guaranteed, rich in strong feelings and dépaysantes. The result is simply enthralling and daring. With you to see whether you are adventurous in the heart.
