DARZAMAT play a diversified kind of Metal, which is not easy to describe. Many different elements and moods could be interesting for a huge target group, but the enormous richness on details and ideas has eventually got a negative effect on the band’s orientation.

The compositions all breathe a mystical atmosphere; I can feel a vampire-like sentiment. A convenient female voice performs a big part of the vocals besides a harsh growling counterpart. Musically, the band oscillates between orchestral pathos, melodic Black- and stomping Dark/Gothic-Metal sounds. Four short interplays are placed among the songs and contribute a downright symphonic touch. A few catchy melodies flash through and on the scale of heaviness DARZAMAT reach average heights. The band focuses on atmospheric structures, but is at the same time far away from kitschy sugar compositions.
One of the best compositions is the first one called False Sleepwalker including a nice refrain and whispered introducing vocals. Afterwards, the group turns to a melodic Black Metal path and speeds up. Fortunately, the musicians do not cudgel through their program without sense, cool changes prove that fact. Yeah, DARZAMAT do it well, but very bombastic – besides the unwieldy and hard-to-take, slightly aslope harmonies that’s the reason why the lightning spark does not set me aflame. There are some brownies for sure like the impelling attack Final Conjuration or the felicitous title track with a fantastic ending. In addition, the dramatic song King Of The Burning Anthems sticks out. .

Solfernus’ Path features bombastic, complex and average hefty music, but the actual work got only a handful of outstanding tunes, rhythms or refrains. The sound is full of details and blessed with wonderful ideas, but the bulky songs’ structures avoid a downright commendation. Sometimes less pathos means more joy in listening!
