En 1988 j'ai amené au programme des collègues plus spécialisés dans des styles spécifiques de métal (thrash, death, classique ...) et avec eux nous avons donné vie au nouveau programme que nous avons appelé Hydra 105 sur 105 sur la fréquence modulée de Radio Cucaracha.

Luckily the Believer reunion was not just a 1 album fluke. So here they go again, with their 5th studio album, entitled ‘Transhuman’. The line-up remains the same, save for bassist/programmer Elton Nestler who left the band in early 2011.
A more accurate name for ‘Transhuman’ could have been ‘Transformation’. You could hear hints of it on ‘Gabriel’, but here the changes are total. Save for the intricate songwriting, the technical playing and to an extent Kurt’s voice, it’s a very different Believer we hear on ‘Transhuman’. They are certainly no longer a thrash metal band, but reside much more in modern metal territory. I personally think they sound like a mixture of newer In Flames and the latter albums from Extol, if you remove those bands extreme metal leanings. The industrial leanings on ‘Gabriel’ are still here, but the loops and samples are used more intact with the songs, and not so much as a backdrop or soundscape behind and/or over the music. The songs are atmospheric and without apparent hooks. Only repeated listening lets you crawl under the albums web-like skin. There is no knowing what comes next on this album.
Another change with Believer are the lyrics. They are currently not what anyone would call a Christian band, and the lyrics on ‘Transhuman’ deals more with philosophy, science and universal existential questions.
‘Transhuman’ will come as a shock to many devoted fan of this band. It has little in common with the Believer of old, yet to me it represents a somewhat natural step forth from ‘Gabriel’. I mentioned In Flames and Extol earlier in this write-up, both bands who have received tons of flack for changing the sound they initially became famous for. Yet I have always stuck by, and defended, both bands in all of their shapes and musical forms. I will do the same for Believer and ‘Transhuman’. And I’ll do it because the album is good! Sure, it is different, but as long as they keep it as solid and interesting as they have done with this album, them I am onboard for the ride. Music should have you coming back for more, and ‘Transhuman’ would not eave my player when it was first put in it.
Killer tracks: Lie Awake, G.U.T., Clean Room, Traveler, Entanglement
