A voice situated between Annie LENNOX and NOA"s, guitars between Mike OLDFIELD"s and ANATHEMA"s, PLACEBO"s melodic bass, THE GATHERING"s airy drums... Here are the four indispensable elements that were at the origin of AMARTIA. On their excellent first album called "Maieutics" (2002), this current French line-up performs a varied music that takes its force from the exceptional alliance of pop, rock and heavy-metal. The topics developped go from the human condition to the environment while the tempos alternate quiet and fast lines, either saturated or ambient. A first work that should be taken into account !
