EPHEL DUATH's Davide Tiso has issued the following update:

"Busy days here. I'm going to Tuscany again to work for the KARYN CRISIS solo album. I really love to be in studio, to push that rec button is the best part of the game.

In the meantime I'm collecting some reviews coming out in the magazines and on the web. I will post them soon. The new ED album is coming out in a few weeks, the most important interviews have been done and now it's time to read what journalists have to say about it.

I've always had a weird relation with the reviews of my albums. Since 2003 I read them in diagonal and if my eyes capture some "key words" like jazz metal, black metal, CYNIC or PESTILENCE I usually stop reading. It's a matter of respect. I mean my respect towards jazz metal, black metal, Cynic and Pestilence.

Jazz metal... I still don't understand what does it means. Since The Painter's Palette the 80% of the ED reviews talk about jazz and metal.

In that album I just gave the humblest possible tribute to a genre I was discovering in those days, fusing it with the extreme metal I was coming from. Then the band proposed three very different albums, a dark and intricate mental trip, PNTK, the dub/noise remix album and the new TMDG, a sort of metal album with strong rock blues influences. Well, jazz metal is always present in the reviews.

Black Metal... I love Black Metal! I love it enough to say that my band never did it! BM is much more than a musical genre, it's a life style, an attitude you continue to have even when you are not listening or playing music. It's an inner research, it's misanthrophy put in music.

I'm not like that, I don't live in that way and my band proposes another kind of music.

Cynic and Pestilence... I wish them to reach the best goals in their career, especially now that they are both returning on the scenes, but I simply never listen to their music. They are not my cup of tea. They are incredible musicians but their approach is not the one I look for in a band I listen to. I consider the ED musical perspectives closer to WHITE STRIPES than to those bands. And this is not a provocating joke.

So... The point is just this: when a journalist says that you can hear jazz metal, traces of black metal and the influence of Cynic and Pestilence on Through My Dog's Eyes, well, don't trust him/her. This is not a matter of different opinions, this is due to the fact that the guy had to write something about an ED album that he's not interested to listen, and that he doesn't respect enough the 'key words' we were talking about."
