"A Triptych Journey." -> great stuff! Thanks for the tip.

I listened to it a while back and even though I can't deny it's good ... I think the metal part of it isn't as good as the orchestral stuff , it kinda left me unimpressed except for that sax surprise. and the female vocalist is somewhat bland tbh.

still I think it's worth at least one listen.

Found it quite good - plus with vocal contributions from Marc of Germany's *Morgoth, a great Australian release, this

*Fixed by a being with a better memory.

What a fine, fine album. This is way better than I expected, and it reignited my dormant vehemence for some quality gothic metal, which had been sadly missing for a number of years up until now.

Very good release. Highly recommended for fans of Doom and Gothic.

Right on my chart.

Thanks.

Sounds like a blackless modern Dimmu Borgir.

So basically like Dimmu Borgir.

Lol. Not quite. More like if Dimmu Borgir were to switch gears to Gothic doom and replace Vortex with a female.

Edit: @Vice I found myself drawing the same comparison the other day while listening to this.

I have been misled. Shame on you, M C.

I thought about saying something like that in my post cause I knew else someone would.

I can be relied upon for delivering cliche responses to just about everything, don't worry.

What does the title mean, anyway?

According to Google Translate the literal translation is "Call of Empty". So I'm going to assume a more proper translation would be something like "The Call of the Void"...

Maybe I'm just craving for new great gothic metal, but this stuff sounds really good so far (as I type this I'm listening to the album).

Damn, I must say I'm surprised by an actually good gothic release for a change.

Maybe the modern Dimmu Borgir, because they most certainly were BM until just a few years ago.

Why would you assume I meant old DB?

Well, the only non-BM DB song I listened to was Dimmu Borgir - Dimmu Borgir. Pretty mediocre symphonic metal. Tried to listen to the whole album but didn't like it a lot so I never finished it. So to me DB is still linked to BM, more or less.

Just gave this a listen, a very decent debut album. Definitely could be improved on but still a worthy goth/symphonic album. A good find.

I'd say this is actually the best gothic album of the last few years. Indeed a very good find. Hell, it's even in my top 15 of my Beauty and the Beast list right now.

I really enjoy this album a lot. So much variety to be found. It can be a little cheesy, but it's the kind of cheese that's acceptable to me.

The only problem which I find is the female vocals which are a little weak, but doesn't ruin the album in any way. Might as well add it to my gothic list too

I agree to an extent. I wouldn't say the female vocals are weak, but they're not great. Just decent/good. Yeah, I would say it's a nice addition to your list. One of my top 5 albums of 2014 currently.

Giving this a cursory listen now. I like this bettwr than any of the others in the category (minus the dubiously placed Melana Chasmata). Nice orchestrations, heavy vocals, female leads have a vague Portishead sound to them. Will give more attentionlater.

One more quality band form Australia!
