As support
act of Kreator and Moonspell I heard about this band for the first
time... and for sure not for the last time. With their special
dark sound, the guys from Belgium present us a mixture of melodical
metal from all styles. Sometimes, the keyboard parts may remember
doom metal and also Children Of Bodom in some songs, and the guitar
solos could be directly taken from a Swedish Death Metal band.
But together, this sound builds an own atmosphere of darkness
, mystic and power. In the song A Thousand Sufferings
, a great guitar rhythm and lamenting keyboards fit perfectly
together. What first seems to be a slow song becomes faster and
faster and really bangs your head! Also female vocals are present
in this composition of darkness: in the song Run To Heaven
, the fast sound of the keyboards and the evil voice of singer
Maarten together with the soft female vocals really create a special
scenery. A great part is certainly also the cover of the song
Amsterdam, originally from the french singer Jaques Brel.
Every song is offering us a very interesting arrangement. Sound
experiments (like the intro of Juglar of bones, a song that sounds
really groovy) are completing the talent of this band and I can
just say: go on this way, I'm waiting for the next album! For
who wants to know more about this new band, just check out their
homepage. Don't miss it!
