The first thing that impresses are the melodies, appealing and almost never banal.

Below them there is however a work of arrangement considerable: bass parts and drums draws rhythmics sometimes linear, other more complex, which recall the earlies Dream Theater, Faith No More and the Annihilator (in particular the album entitled Set The World On Fire).

Giutars are simply great: professional, precise and heterogeneous.

We are convinced that the greatest merit of this album is the variety of genres as moods.

The opening track, a short intro called Distant land, is a jewel of semplicity that reminds us some Queensryche‘s ballads or Pink Floyd‘s style; however the real spirit of this work comes out with the following three tracks: Time Is Mine (the titletrack), King time’s dilemma and Higher ground, in which the equilibrium between hard and scratching parts and spectacular and melodic openings is almost perfect.

We also want to highlight the track Winter/dusk, another good example of composition, and another proof that different musical genres can cohabit in the same album in a harmonious way.

Directly from Delhi – India, thanks to Jamendo, we found out this indian Trent’s replicant.

This is an example on how a hard influence from some artist could be a good production itself, especially when the “clone” artist don’t make just a cover, but create his own production.

Amit is the one man band behind his project Etherdust, hardly influenced by NIN, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Ministry, Marylin Manson and Zeromancer. He has a good voice (sometimes remember Trent) and good composition, too.

Unfortunately the quality of recording is not so good as it deserves (it’s not so bright), but we trust to have a better one really soon.

The tracks we like are 24 because of its mix of indian vocal style and NIN sound, Hey God is the most ethereal of the album and Please that is a good electronic Trent-style track.

What more can we say about Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails?

We can say, for the ones who not know them yet, that NIN is Trent Reznor, even if now is a real band with lot of peoples and collaborations. Nine Inch Nails is one of the most creative and experimental bands all around the world.

If you loved movies like “The Crow” or “Natural Born Killers”, well, you’ll love NIN too.

The particularity of this album is that is the first completely released for free. Yes. Totally free.

The genre is the usual industrial rock, with the famous sounds of NIN and the cutting voice of Trent.

If you want to listen the typical sound of NIN, get 1,000,000, Discipline, Head Down and Demon Seed.

The most experimental tracks are Corona Radiata — the ambient one  — and The Four Of Us Are Dying — the one who reflects the experimental sound of Ghost I-IV —, both instrumental.
