A review by

In Peccatum plays a very catchy kind of melodic Doom Metal, with growly vocals and classical elements, the music is not slow like most kind of Doom, and even that there a couple of fast paced tracks, the spirit of the music remain very emotional.
This Mcd, which is based on the Azorean myths of Sete Cidades, contains 5 tracks, 5 romantic and dismal songs, the small intro "Septem Aquae" is a nice classical string trio of viola, violin & cello which leaved an strong impression upon my first listen, then the first song begins, "Everlasting Delicacy" a song so varied, that goes from mid-paced to rapid riffs and catchy hooks, some female vocals and Gothic elements can be discovered too.
"Watery Portrait" begins with a guitar solo, a thing not so common on Doom/Gothic Metal, after the first part, the song becomes an emotional and tragic song, that derives into the last song, "Till Daylight Comes" the gloomiest song of the record, the piano gives the song a incredible atmosphere, the mini album ends with a short acoustic outro.
Surely an excellent release that I'm afraid it will go unnoticed by the media, hopefully when In Peccatum releases a full-length we'll see them with an appropriate record deal, because they surely deserve one.
Either you get this for the rarity value or for the emotional music it contains, it's worth the effort.
