A review by
Susan May 29, 2012
When the band is on, the build-ups are engaging and you can't help but fly right along with them. Growled vocals are supported by occasional clean male vocals and swirl around the mesmerizing guitars. Despite a bit of Pete Steele worship, singer/bassist S. Toutain's clean vocals are quite nice and used at just the right moments. Melodies are familiar after just a listen or two and draw you in nicely.
That's the norm for this album, but from time to time the atmosphere has a tendency to wander off on its own and leave a confusing, bland taste. Again, needs more salt; something is missing from this music. As if the band realized this, they occasionally jump around with sudden changes leaving the listener wondering, "Is this still the same band?" The eclectic elements are sometimes welcome; other times I was scratching my head at the randomness of it all. The song "The One To Blame" is full of these sudden changes and while it starts off extremely strong, with a great groove and high energy, by the end of one track we've taken a tour through several other genres.
Definitely check this out if you need some doom with good atmosphere and a few surprises. Not all the surprises will make sense but hey, that can be fun, too.
