'Empty' is the first real album of the French band Leiden, after the acclaimed EP 'L'Aube Spirituelle'. I can't wait to say that kind of album is bound to lead French metal on the road of recognition. Only a few bands in the world can pride themselves on having so much originality. I am amazed by the youth of this band: usually a band reaches this level of mastering after a long career. Here, Leiden, after only a few years of existence already have found their way, their own and original personnality. Sorry I'm repeating myself by the one word that comes to my mind while I'm listening to 'Empty' again and again is 'originality'. They label their music under the name 'nu dark', but in my opinion this is too simplistic. The complete way to describe their music and to fulfill my need for labelling would be alternative dark death goth metal. Read more ›› |

I was actually interested in this band, I've read the reviews, heard some samples and I decided it was time to get this, one or another way I would get it, French-based Gothic-Doom-Nu Metal band "Leiden" (translated: suffering in German) was a high hope in my books. The deception was great. If I could qualify this album it would be boring! And not because mostly is slow to mid-paced, I have great Doom bands that go at 1bpm and they're a pleasant experience, is because Leiden fails to create an appropriate atmosphere in their music, thus, becoming boring, very boring.

Shit, this album definately did surprise me. Yes, the female vocals are dominating and yes, there are some electronic references, but still, they sound very much like My Dying Bride between 1991-1993 - and that is very good news. Favorite tracks: "Entlarvt", "Spirale", "Les Maux" and "Gangrene"
