Theater of Tragedy - Inperspective (EP)
Inperspective is an ironically titled EP featuring some remixes and random recordings from Norway's Theatre of Tragedy. Although this band is most often the point of comparison for any metal band featuring male death vocals paired with clean female singing, Theatre of Tragedy has toiled away in the land of highly generic music for pretty much their entire existence. Certainly they have been capable of a few good songs in their day, but you know all about that theory of a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters. This EP features one song from Aegis, an unreleased track and then a bevy of remixed songs from various studio albums. The thing that is most striking is when their music is deconstructed and put to a techno/electronic backing, it suddenly becomes much, much more interesting than anything they have accomplished on their own. In particular, the remixes of "The Masquerade and Phoenix" and "On Whom the Moon Doth Shine" are very well executed pieces of club dance music with very little of Theatre of Tragedy's style (beyond perhaps vocals melodies) intact. So when a band's best performance happens to be a remix, you must realize there is something fishy in Denmark, er, Norway. This EP definitely does put things Inperspective and helps one along to an epiphany that Theatre of Tragedy should probably avoid making their own music.
