Thyrane

Thyrane was formed in 1994 and as of 2004 had released three albums and an EP, their most recent being the album reviewed here, 2003's Hypnotic. Others have labelled the band as industrial black metal, but to these ears, they aren't really either industrial or black, though some elements of each can be found (no doubt their early work was a bit more black in style). The basic formula on Hypnotic consists of relatively straightforward, mid-paced arrangements, with black vocals and well-executed keyboards that interplay nicely with the guitars There are occasional soundalikes to other bands ("Firework" has a clear Rammstein vibe, other songs sound a bit like a less chaotic ... And Oceans), though not enough to label the band as cloning anyone else. Hypnotic is not a particularly complicated album, and at times the songs tend to a bit samey as they are all played at similar speeds with a similar vocal style, but it's a decently entertaining album.

The band announced its breakup in May 2006.
