Orchestral progressive metal/post-prog from Russia, latest full-length album released in 2008.
Quote:
Mechanical Poet was born on Spring, 2002 from the ashes of experimental avant-garde metal act Glazemaker, which consisted of guitarist Lex, drummer Tom and lead singer Sebastian. After several years of experimenting and performing very various genres of music the members decided to form an original melodic metal project. In this new band they wanted to unite progressive metal riffs and song structures with deep ambient pads, trance electronics and rich classical orchestrations.
First record of Mechanical Poet was made on June, 2002. It was an instrumental 9-track demo ''Trace Of The Dead Leaf'' composed of old Glazemaker pieces that were revised and newly orchestrated. The demo was well appreciated on Moscow underground scene and the trio started to work on their premier EP. From June to August, 2002 Lex and Tom have already composed six new tracks and on September, 2002 occupied the studio to record them. Unfortunately in the middle of the studio session the singer decided to leave the band and the work was incomplete.
Seven months were spent in auditions and endless search of a good singer. The choice was made at the end of April, 2003 after more than 130 auditions. Max became the frontman of Mechanical Poet and put the final touches at ''Handmade Essence'' EP. Due to these 4 songs and 2 instrumental tracks the band received several offers from various music companies and finally signed a record deal with italian label Aural Music, the mother company for code666, Dreamcell11, GoreGorecords and Amaranth Recordings.
From the beginning of 2004 Mechanical Poet have been working on their debut full length CD ''Woodland Prattlers''. The hard work was complete on September, 2004. The official release date was set on December 4th, 2004.
After the well-received Woodland Prattlers was released in 2004, the band broke up, citing artistic differences. Guitarist Lex Plotnikoff put together a new version of the band, with the first output being the interestingly-titled Creepy Tales For Freaky Children in early 2007. Creepy Tales mix hard rock, melodic progressive metal, and even a bit of goth rock, resulting in an accessible but not overtly poppy sound (save for "Once Upon A Day", where a lighter, poppier side of the band comes out). This seems to be a concept album of sorts, given the Tim Burton-esque artwork and the general soundtrack feel of the album as a whole. Apparently part of the story is continued in the band's next work, the even more adventurous Who Did It To Michelle Waters?. This is a pretty original band, and recommended to melodic prog metal fans in particular. |
