In Chemical Transit

by All Men Unto Me

supported by

Matthew Grouse After an extremely emotional, documentary-esque journey, this final track had me in tears. The coalescence of the artist's voices, one from years ago & one captured relatively recently, creates such a rich and emotionally complex listening experience. What an incredible album! Favorite track: senza saper.

Dolls, Robots, and Matrices Great album from Ryan, showing their absolute vocal prowess! Favorite track: lament.

about

In Chemical Transit is All Men Unto Me’s first release, a 45 minute album which explores Rylan Gleave’s vocal journey from mezzo-soprano to bass-baritone, underpinned by Cherubino’s aria Voi che sapete from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro. Through historic recordings of Rylan Gleave’s voice — pre-transition, 8 weeks on Testosterone, and 2.5 years on Testosterone — In Chemical Transit is a time capsule of voices that will never sound again. This live launch takes place with Gleave’s voice 5 years on Testosterone.

Gleave’s exploration of the operatic material is influenced not only by his classical training, but also his avant-garde metal vocals for band Ashenspire, in addition to themes drawn from minimalism, church music, post-punk, and drone. His broken voice alternates between strangled falsetto, guttural shrieks, and full-bodied classical baritone, likened to ‘Tilt-era Scott Walker’ by C.M. Queen.

Wow, this album just won't stop! It might well be my favorite "black metal" (but this is so genre defying that I hate to really put a genre label on it) album of the past decade. The music is incredible, the jazziness and the tension, the performances are virtuosic, the production is stellar, and the vocals are indescribable, like a cross between an impassioned soap-box preacher, and the voice in my own head telling me to fight the injustices of a cruel system.

I love the heavy religious inspiration behind this album. The raw vocals kinda cling to your mind in a way its kinda stuck there and the song will just stay in your mind permenantly. macbxth_mp3
