Info:
The Mute Gods are a German and English band uniting Nick Beggs, Marco Minnemann and Roger King.Beggs approached King — with whom he had worked as part of Steve Hackett's band — about a collaboration in 2014, and Minnemann was chosen as the drummer after Beggs had toured with him as part of Steven Wilson's band.The Mute Gods were conceived by Nick Beggs as an outlet for his writing during a period of extensive touring with Steve Hackett and Steven Wilson. The material was written and recorded in countless hotel rooms/back stage areas and dressing rooms around the world between 2013 and 2015.On joining the Steve Hackett band in 2009, Nick and Roger King developed a synergy that was to develop further when The Mute Gods record was first discussed. “Roger’s strengths are my weaknesses” volunteers Beggs. “He has the ability to cast a steely eye of of clarity over material and bring out the best in a song.”Nick was subsequently introduced to Marco Minnemann when they first toured together in the Steven Wilson band during 2012. It was then they discussed the possibilities of working on a project together. “Marco is not only an amazing drummer, he is also a great guitarist, that’s why I gave him a free reign to play what ever he wanted on this record.”“It was a tremendously joyful process recording for The Mute Gods album. And I sincerely want to thank Nick and Roger for letting me express myself so freely with all musical ideas I wanted to bring into the ‘Mute God’ universe. Much love… and I hope you enjoy listening to the album as much as I had the pleasure recording for it.” – Marco Minnemann Additional guest appearances on the record are as follows: Lula Beggs, Frank Van Bogaert, Nick Dvirgilio, Adam Holtzman, Gary O’Toole, Rob Reed and Ricky Wilde.
Album:
I didn't listening to THE MUTE GODS first album, but according to the press release, for their new album "Tardigrades Will Inherit The Earth" (to be released at the end of this week) the band aim of a heavier, more rocking tinged album.The Mute Gods line-up feature some excellent musicians; Nick Beggs (Steven Wilson / Steve Hackett), Roger King (Steve Hackett) and Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson / Joe Satriani), and their style basically go for progressive rock with lots of melody and a punchy, vibrant sound.Indeed, on a track like ‘We Can’t Carry On’ you can hear the emphasis on heavier guitar parts and Nick Beggs singing in a heavier mode – but this isn't prog metal by any means. The overall sound is groovy, with a crisp production sound and a 'rocking' approach.It's a very vital record and truly dynamic, despite the dark lyrics; it takes a look at the somber side of humanity and how we can’t continue on our current path without devastating consequences.A tardigrade, or ‘water bear’, is a tiny water dwelling micro-animal that can survive in the most extreme conditions. Hence the album’s title as these fellows will inherit the Earth at some stage.The title track is the most instant tune on here, reminding me a little of Rush. It has the sort of chorus you will remember after just one listen and the various musical nuances then reveal themselves on each subsequent play.Animal Army' is another a great song peppered with hard rock rhythms, all accentuated by a dramatic string section. As soon as Beggs’ lofty vocals float in, it’s clear that the trio put a premium on memorability, evident in the indelible chorus.There is one little ray of light in the album on the closing track ‘Stranger Than Fiction’, a lovely piece of music and vocal that hopes that love can help in changing things for the better, even if just on a personal level.This is my first experience with this band and I must say it resulted truly impressive.The Mute Gods are already something akin to prog royalty. Beggs / King / Minnemann are all tried and tested musicians, and it’s impossible to imagine artists of this caliber ever creating something musically bad. Unsurprisingly then, the album smacks of quality through and through, full of intelligent lyrics and thoughtful compositions.But I was expecting a relaxed prog album, and "Tardigrades Will Inherit The Earth" kicks some serious ass. It rocks, has lots of bright melodies, even catchy choruses.Hopefully The Mute Gods will do another album as in a recent interview they said that would depend on how well this album was received and sold. It certainly deserves a place in any modern progressive music fans collection, and also for those looking for more rocking stuff but with brains.
