Rating:
7.0

The first thing that strikes me about this album is how well-written and performed it is. The second thing that strikes me is just how pale it sounds despite this impeccable songwriting and musicianship. Daylight Dies are expert at their craft, it's just a shame that that craft isn't all that compelling in the genre of melodic doom to which they opt to perform.

MetalSpider Posts: 1386 From: Canada	Permalink 04.10.2012 - 01:45 Rating: 8 MetalSpider Posts: 1386 From: Canada Looking forward to this one. I've always enjoyed their albums, but they were not the type of albums that I would listen to a lot or often. So far, however, with the 2 songs they've released...this album might be different. ---- Thanks to Corrupt for these banners! Loading...
