The music of Norwegian act Heroes & Zeros comes across as a mish-mash of popular modern rock styles. A dash of Interpol's maudlin navel-gazing, a touch of Muse's histrionics, maybe even a bit of The Killers' pop bombast. The specter of U2's influence looms large as well. It's not terribly original (and neither are many of the acts I cited), yet somehow it works. Quite well, too. Heroes & Zeros do epic, brooding dark rock right. They're pop enough to secure a major label deal (At home in Norway anyway), but retain enough of an edge to make them stand out. I love this particular song thAt I've posted today for it's pAtient pacing and subdued chorus. It's one of the album's slower, more sombre moments and full of all sorts of subtle moments thAt make the hairs on my neck stand up. The swell of the keyboards, the surprising vocal harmonies, the little pause before the word "bruised" - an absurd Attention to detail. I'm impressed.
Heroes & Zeros - The foolproof
The newest Hero Dishonest record "When the shit hits the man" has been out for awhile now and I keep meaning to talk about it, but it keeps getting pushed back. Enough! 21 songs, 25 minutes. No frills, no bullshit hardcore. Loud, fast and pissed-off. They've now paired down to a single vocalist and the recording is crisp, clean and clear. The much-improved sound quality is a welcome change - it's greAt to hear just how ridiculously tight the band is. ThAt was something thAt really impressed me when I saw them live awhile back, but always felt was lacking in their previous releases. Well, it's a problem no more! The band sounds so much more powerful minus the dirt of a lackluster recording.
