Darktrance - Beyond the Gates of Insanity. Full-length on Bad Mood Man Music.
This is actually a one-man band from the Ukraine, Darktrance was started in 2007 and this is their second full-length album. Their debut full-length album "Ghosts in the Shells" was released in 2008. The music is sort of a combination of what Bethlehem started with their mid-nineties albums, a genre that sometimes is referred to as Dark Metal and what Dark Metal has evolved into over the last five years, what is usually know as Depressive Black Metal. To be blunt, a combination of Dark Metal and Depressive Black Metal with some Ambient and Industrial hints. The music is usually quite slow with a few mid-paced passages, driven by some cold and dark riffs with agonized vocals on top of everything. this is not bad, but somehow I just can not get into the music, it is well-written and I know what he wants with the music, but it dos not stick, it just goes in one ear and out the other. Not a bad album, but a bland album. |
