Gothic
Demons

These guys seem rather gothic, they are even from the home nation of Dracula – can it be more gothic? The quartet has existed for a while even though it may not have been active for all that time but the debut album was released all the way back in 1997 and their second album saw light of day in 2013. And now their third album comes and it is full of demons, darkness, disillusions and a shadow man.

It happens to be music that could be described as melodic death metal, a bit dark and gothic – the cover artwork is actually a decent indication of how it sounds. I think the production is very strong and the album has depth and it has strength in the vocals and with that I mean in both the Growlier and cleaner kinds of vocals that we hear on this album – this great album, I should add.

And they keep it sensible on playing time as well with the eight tracks of the album playing for just 40 minutes which is a refreshing thing in a time when many albums tend to last for way longer than they should. And perhaps thanks to both variation and sensible playing time it is really difficult to fins any real flaws in this album, sure they are there if you are really picky but so are they in any album and this has much, much more strengths than flaws.

It isn’t an album that needs much text, I would describe it as one of the best melodic death metal albums I have heard lately, it certainly is the best I have heard this year. And to end it all I can just point out that you really should check it out.
