uaral

uaral樂隊(智利)成立於1996年,98年發行過一張demo, 2005年推出第一張正式專輯《Sounds of Pain》。2007年《Lamentos A Poema Muerto》。在樂隊中Aciago 負責樂器的演奏, 而Caudal表演人聲。 他們兩人的家庭都打著被流放的烙印, 被政府鎮壓後流放到智利南部做農奴。 這種命運帶來了他們深入骨髓的痛苦。 面對無語的大山, 河流, 樹木, 這裡尋找不到希望也尋找不到愛, 音樂是孤獨的他們唯一能減輕痛苦的安慰。 對自身命運的乖蹇, 對國家前途的絕望和追求自我內心的平靜的願望構成了Uaral獨一無二的音樂。

許多人將Uaral 視為一支金屬樂隊,但用他們自己的話說,他們自己在創作時並沒有留意採用哪一種音樂形式是最好的,採用每一種音樂的形式,只是為了符合一種感情的表達. 所以他們認為自己並非是金屬樂隊,而是歌特厄運金屬農夫. 實際上我覺得他們既不屬於陰暗類音樂,更不是極端音樂. 他們表 達的是一種常人之情,只是命運將他們置於非常人所經歷過的困境,因而他們的痛苦,絕望比普通人更加強烈. 和某些黑暗類音樂所表達的扭曲意識,有著本質上的區別.

正是因為如此,所以我覺得他們的音樂更加真實,也更加能打動人. 他們成立樂隊於1996年,8年後才推出第一張正式專輯. 一方面與當時身處的環境限制有關,另一方面,更重要的是,他們是為命運而歌,借音樂疏緩自己的苦悶,而並非為歌而歌. 這從他們對待live show的態度可見一斑. Uaral 說他們並不打算開演唱會,因為聽眾與他們缺乏感情共鳴,在聽眾面前,他們難以表達自己的感情. 他們的音樂是屬於他們自己的,不足為外人道矣. 音樂的交流亦只限於與其家人及非常親密的朋友之間.

uaral uaral

Uaral這個名字早在他們成立樂隊之前的多年即存在他們的心中. 名字的起源來自於他們親身經歷的小故事: Aciago和Caudal 年少的時候曾在一座山上迷路,他們從山中茫然地走下到了一個蘋果園中,發現了一條捷徑. 而在那裡,他們碰到了一位懷抱著一具巴洛克式吉他的老人,在吉他上刺銹著老人的名字----Uaral. 這位飽經滄桑,深蘊世事,睿智而孤獨的老人與兩個少年亦師亦友,在他們的交往中,這位老人用他的詩,他的吉它,他的歌使他們洞悉了人生,使他們看到了被掩蓋的人的本性. 用Aciago和Caudal自己的話來說,Uaral showed us the pain made family...the pain made m usic...for us Uaral is the life.

Uaral是適合一個人獨自聽的音樂,因為它直擊你的內心深處. 它揭示痛苦,喚起你深埋的意識. 這些本就是難於人分享的,只有獨自一人時,你才可能理解Uaral,跨入內省自我的這扇大門。

碟評介紹

專輯名稱:《Sounds of Pain》

sounds of pain sounds of pain

來自智利的厄運民謠樂隊uaral 所創作的Sounds of Pain是我近段時期最喜歡的一張厄運專輯。這是一張描寫家庭、描寫音樂、描寫生活的一張作品,它並不極端也並不陰暗。在這裡不難體會到流放與苦行僧的生活。細細體味他們,你只能感覺到孤獨、掙扎、痛苦、悲憐、命運還有堅韌的追求,這是一張可以在痛苦中淨化心靈的作品。或許在追求浮華物質的快節奏生活所充滿的欲望、野性的生活狀態中,這些僅存的悲悽痛苦才是最彌足珍貴的。

01.Lost 雨點聲伴隨著哀號將我們帶入這個痛苦而又絕望的世界。

02.Surrendered to the decadence 這首更應該算為一首器樂曲,原聲箱琴與長笛是這首歌曲的骨架,Caudal的演唱只是為了烘托Aciago的演奏,他的嗓音低沉而又憂鬱,悲傷且痛苦著,孤獨的感覺油然而生。

03.Eternal Beauty of the trees... 鍵盤起到烘托氣氛的感覺。詞曲分為上下兩個段落,似乎是三種音樂類型的結合,氛圍黑金、死亡與斯堪的納維亞。按照常理要融合這幾種類型似乎是並不可能完成的,但是這首作品中將他有機的結合,整體和諧,並沒有衝突。

04.Sounds of Pain 長達19分19秒,是整張專輯的主打歌曲,民謠味十足,這裡不得不讓我想起德國的一支森林民謠金屬、厄運樂隊Empyrium,同上曲一樣,創作者也有意給分成4個段落還刻意在間斷之處加上一些採樣,或許這是他們將信息傳播給聽眾的一種手段。和諧、平緩的伴奏加之痛苦的聲音令人在細細品味之間更多一份遐想······毫無疑問在這裡Aciago仍占有主導地位的,箱琴的連復段是一大特色,正是他那樸素而又充滿活力的演奏將歌曲在平緩中趨向高潮。震徹心扉。

05.Niche 跳躍著的音符像河水一樣輕輕撫摸著河底的鵝卵石,Caudal的吟唱在和諧與平靜、掙扎與孤獨中反覆交叉。人或許都是充滿矛盾的。這裡分為的兩個段落且都能獨立的欣賞。Aciago和Caudal在流放的過程中體驗著孤獨帶來的快感,絕望中繼續生活在自己的世界。

06.Depression 是我要重中之重中推薦給大家的,這是我近年來最喜歡的一首歌,鍵盤的聲音響起時,我肅然平靜,熄滅手中的香菸,閉上眼睛,徘徊與痛苦與掙扎之間,但是那種情緒似曾相識,或許來自心靈的共鳴吧。也許我的好朋友狂想病人也會被這首歌所深深的吸引。

07.La vaga esperanza del ser 開頭部分出現的女聲,據說是他們的祖母所演唱的。歌曲中壓抑中所追尋的平緩,是的uaral將自己封閉在大山上、草原上。世界無法改變、或許可以改變的那一刻就是自己入土的那段時刻。

08.uaral 樂隊主唱Caudal的悲泣與哀號無不感染所有認真聆聽體會的朋友們。

再ZT

來自於智利的Death/ Doom/ Ambient Folk 團體Uaral,成立於1996年,

國內並無太多的介紹資料,在這裡對他們這張民謠音樂中的顛峰作品略作推薦。

這張2005的採用了大量的原聲吉他加上低沉的死嗓,清新、惆悵而絕望,

同樣的大悲大苦,比起永恆沉睡來更加多元化, 更有親和力更能滿足金屬迷的耳朵。

是張無以倫比的專輯,是一段穿越自我感情的旅程. 它憂鬱而大氣,呈現出了一種罕見的美,

而Uaral 是用他們強烈無比而又真摯自然的感情來譜寫這種美.

一方面,在被流放作為苦工的歲月中,他們逐漸愛上了這塊土地,它給了他們家,給了他們希望,

但是同時也給了他們悲痛. 因而歌曲在充滿希望和追求寧靜的同時,卻又那么寒冷而壓抑.

民謠式的吉它彈奏占據了主要地位,流暢平緩,似如他們所經常徘徊於其邊的Potrero Grande河水一般,

雖然初聽似是平靜,但聽得越多越會發現每一下的撥弦都在震盪著內心.

這部分和Empyrium很有相似之處,然而Empyrium比之Uaral要平和得多,這是不同命運的區別吧;

而內心痙攣般的痛苦則以doom metal與淒切之聲表達出來,即使是我這種對金屬不感興趣的人,

也不由覺得此時的doom metal 的力量正足以將自我撕得粉碎,正是使用得恰到好處.

Over hostile times and fruitless experiences in the horizon,rough episodes were registered in our bodies. By the year 1996,Aciago and Caudal,relatives and friends,walked through different paths but both carrying the piece of a family sentenced to live under the repression,the toil and the labour of the field; subsequently,they were fated to love the land which provides their home with sorrow and hope. In fact by those years,in all familiar night falls,you could see that musical ideas were brought up,though they were never brought to an end because to oblige restrained feelings to give body is a matter of time.

In 1997,immersed in the solitude of the mountain range,the wine straight in wisdom covered the night with his lineage under the inert gaze of trees and sky,and the moist fire wood lighted and brightened Potrero Grande river who was drowned in beautiful desolation. Just a faint harmony could satisfy the wind who caressed his sonancy. It was a night of poetry and music where Uaral plastered their veins departing a way of natural comfort to the need of expressing feelings,whom Aciago and Caudal would resort to. As an option,to make immortal musical registers,it was recorded a demonstration for fellows,and it was given the name of “Potrero Grande” and “Surrendered to the Decadence” but a called introduction “Bruma”.

In those gaits,The Niches roads were bloodstained with the end of a relative life. Nobody will forget that day when Uaral plastered his agony with instrumental melancholy on the delicate coffin and gladden the air with all the desolation that covered the room. Those were difficult times full of losses and misfortunes that marked Uaral: as a mirror,mourning,personified in compositions,reflected the pain of a land full of everlasting silence. Thus,without reaching an agreement,new symphonies emerged without resignation.

Uaral guided the traces of members' thoughts leaving in all bands a poem and a chord. In this way,the musical agonies around the wintry downpours and nights of shining blazes advanced through the years in The Niches and Cordillerilla. They were reflected in every tear of the brook. Throughout the seasons is coming the amazement of the breathings of those who were ripening Uaral. For that reason,it is decided for a second time to capture a register: a new one,its name From The Agony To The Hopelessness,that wandered along tree stages and an overture. In 2003,it was handed over an anonym musical register to a selected group of friends that walked sharing the ideologies and the expressions that Uaral gave out. OMG listened to this by accidents of destiny,contacted them,and proposed an interesting project to record the register. They both,OMG and the guys -Aciago and Caudal- agreed on meeting to expose their needs. There,they explained the real meaning of Uaral music ex! pressions and ideologies,and that they did not want an overexposure of them. OMG understood that everything is mainly to protect Uaral's interests,and finally they entered the studio.

After washing the dishes in the kitchen of The Niches,Aciago's and Caudal's grandmother dried her hands and proudly gave her chant to her lads. She registered the most sincere expression of her feelings,which was used as a prologue in “La Vaga Esperanza Del Ser”,a song of admirable beauty inspired by the aerial caress of childhood.

From all the sorrows that came from feeling decadence,it was achieved a final expression rich of worldly grief,familiar proximity,and hopeless agony: it was achieved Sounds Of Pain...
