Tracklist

Greg Puciato’s name is quite well-known within the metal community, best recognized for his vocal work with mathcore legends The Dillinger Escape Plan. Already a fan of his projects, I was very interested in hearing his latest endeavor, The Black Queen. However, as my knowledge of his previous bands built up a certain expectation, my initial reaction wasn’t too positive. But I was wrong to judge so quickly, for this is not Dillinger, it’s not even Killer Be Killed – The Black Queen is Puciato’s way of branching out and exploring new sounds, and creative versatility is more valuable than staying in your comfort zone.
The Black Queen’s debut album, entitled ‘Fever Daydream’, begins with a short, atmospheric intro, reminiscent of a 1980’s horror movie. This pretty much sets the stage for the rest of the album, as the entire thing sounds very dated. Ordinarily that might not be a good thing, but it’s actually fascinating how well they pulled off achieving that sound, seeing as it was made three decades later. Which brings me to the second (and best) track, “Ice To Never”: a perfect example of that 80’s dance party feel that appears so often on ‘Fever Daydream’. Even the music video for it is true to the style of the 80s. I’m not a fan of electronic music, but “Ice To Never” won me over fairly quickly, and I just can’t get enough of it.
Combining both of the aforementioned 80s horror movie and dance party styles, “Secret Scream” is my second favourite song on the album, sounding like something off of The Lost Boys soundtrack. “Secret Scream”, along with “Distanced”, posses a sort of industrial pop quality, which is likely due to the other two thirds of The Black Queen, Joshua Eustis and Steven Alexander, both of whom have previously worked with Nine Inch Nails.
