( ) ‘Highflyer’ is a colorful record, bursting with polychrome textures laid out by the free-flowing guitar work of Yukito Okazaki whose psychedelic exuberance is undercut by the devastating swinging blade of low end heaviness provided by bassist Tana Haugo.  The opening, title track is sure to slice you up and laugh while doing it.  It’s the definite highlight of the disc with iron horse galloping rhythms reminiscent of White Zombie, guaranteed to leave an impression on the listener.
“Map” dusts off a bit of the heaviness in favor of psychotropic atmosphere during the bridge. The watchword here is dynamics.  Eternal Elysium takes the listener to the top floor of constantly increasing excitement levels.   Melodic vocals, sung in Japanese, lift the listener to a higher spiritual plane while the crashing heaviness smashes the listener back down to earth.  The punishment brought about by the heaviness of the guitars is made more powerful by the beauty of the vocal melody
“Circulation” is also sung manically, this time in English and has some great riffs.  It’s clear that 20 plus years of crushing eardrums has sharpened the instincts of the band.  Riffs build one upon the other and open up like doors of perception through winding corridors of mind alteration, which like the “future, [are] completely white”.
On closing instrumental track, “Highflyer – Down Not Out”, a hard-boiled noir detective feeling is teleported to the Arabian Desert, creating a one of a kind sonic experience.  Tasteful use of horns and careful sensitivity to atmosphere create an almost George Gershwin “Rhapsody in Blue” effect.  It’s quite the way to go out.
‘Highflyer’ exhumes the old bones and memories of Eternal Elysium’s contemporary bands like Sleep, White Zombie and Monster Magnet in a thoroughly convincing and original way.  Stoner and doom fans will dig this EP if they haven’t already, there’s still plenty of life left in those old bones after all.
