As
a special treat for fans, German gothic rock institutions The House of
Usher and The Escape have teamed up to
release this special split single " Conspiracy". The Escape
start things off with title track "Conspiracy," which is classic
bombast in the
vein of the first Sisters of Mercy album, all baritone vocals and jagged
guitars, and the pianos are a nice touch as well. "I Wonder Why"
is
slower and moodier, with epic keyboard work backing the guitars, with
somber lyrics that every one needs to hear sometomes. Then The House of
Usher take over with "Into the
Blue." Though it's not a cover of The Mission's similarly-named song,
it's awfully similar, with mellifluous baritone vocals,
clean and intricate guitars, and even female backing vocals reminiscent
of Wayne Hussey's duets with All About Eve's
Julianne Regan. "Friendly Fire" is bigger and slower, with loud
drums, slowly squealing guitar, and more female backing
vocalists.
Do yourself a favor
and check out both acts in this particular single.
