It took three long years for the long awaited follow up to thegreat Iconoclast album to finally arrive. Once again the bandthrows the listener a curve ball by going from Doom/Death Metal toa more sinister and generally pissed off Dark Metal sound. One ofthe first things I noticed is that The Teluric Manifesto is anincredibly hard to digest and genre-transgressing disc and I neededlots of listens to build a relatively objective impression of thealbum. If Poema Arcanus labelled themselves in the past as "DarkProgressive Arcane Metal" (which was pretty accurate at that time,especially "Arcane" instead of "Doom"), now that definition isabsolutely obsolete, because although the base is still anunderdeveloped and drowned Doom Metal, the band flirts with lots ofinspirations from Gothic Rock or even Jazz. The song writing isabsolutely free-style, we don't see a clear structure and there canbe so much difference between the parts of the same song that it'sdifficult to realize when a track ends to let another one start.Mental work is required of the listener to make a picture of thiswhole machine and its different gearings. You won't find hereanything even remotely similar to a chorus, a main riff or aconstant drum line and vocalist Claudio Carrasco takes absoluteliberty to change from growling to clean voice and vice versa.Still, what seems to be dreadfully confusing at first, turns rathercoherent when you get accustomed to it, and so the disc grows a lotand shows itself with time. The Teluric Manifesto is a daring,different effort and the result is a highly original album that youcan like or not, but marks a standing point over which one of mymost respected bands can explore awesome new landscapes. There arethings left to improve, especially in terms of song-structure, butPoema Arcanus can come back with big stuff in some years if theykeep walking their newfound path.
