Two years after the quite good Lammendam, Carach Angren come back to haunt us with their second album. Haunt? Yes, as once again this album is a ghost story. This time, the Netherlanders tell us all about their most famous dead countryman: The Flying Dutchman. Well, OK, said Dutchman is not really a man? It's a ship. A ghost one, of course. Read more ›› |

I saw this album the first time in a metal magazine and thought: "Man, what a cool cover." Not many bands can manage a good cover with the musicians on it, but this was something that blew me away from the first sight. Obviously, Carach Angren seem to be young ambitious guys having an original corpsepaint and looking full of certainty directly to the listener, not to mention that the whole scenery matches perfectly with the title Death Came Through A Phantom Ship. So my interest was piqued and I gave a listen to what they streamed in the internet. It took me not more than a minute and the decision to get the entire album was made. Read more ›› |

Posts: 70 Written by InnerSelf on 03.06.2010 at 11:13 Well, I gave it enough time. And I'm absolutely sure that it doesn't deserve 10. It's just a mediocre album in a good style. And completely forgetable...

One of the most original and well thought of concepts for a symphonic black metal album. They really thought out each song and it's representation in the album. I personally liked And the Consequence Macabre and Departure Towards a Nautical Curse the best.

Posts: 1127 Written by BloodJuNkie on 05.09.2013 at 05:28 I am aware this comment is years old, but have you not heard In the Nightside Eclipse? Far Away from the Sun? There are so many classics that did this stuff way earlier and way darker. Not knocking you or the album, but you should broaden your horizons. There is a lot to explore.
