Dark End are back with their second album, after their discrete debut, "Damned Woman And A Carcass". Well, now we say that from bitter first album, concentrated black melodic death metal vampire hued symphonic, few differences are gathered, if not a certain maturity in song writing, the rest, the proposal of emiliano sextet, traveling on the same stylistic details of the previous CD. The opening is entrusted to a inquietantissimo "Pater Noster" a little 'revised its recitation at the edge of satanic litany, leaving soon to place black symphony, always influenced by the band members and Dani Filth (period "Cruelty and the Beast "), to" Alma Mater Terribilis "song from the refined orchestration and a well balanced use of keyboards. "A Bizarre Alchemical Practice hides within it a long part sung in Italian recalled that in my mind those two pieces, always sung in Italian, content on the debut album of Aborym, creepy. Definitely the Cradle of Filth are the benchmark of our local band, search for that constant and horrific atmosphere that his riffing, not original, but that nowadays very few know the band perform. Oh yes, because, dear friends, is no longer the black symphonic trend as in the mid-90s every now and then listen to records like this (remember that in Italy there are also Veronese Riul Doamnei to engage in this kind of sound) is not serves to relieve my pain for the loss of what has always been my favorite genre. Our continue on their journey, wildly hammering the listener with rhythms drawn, intersperses acoustic gothic vampire and some pompous orchestration and, unbelievable, solos by school typically heavy. Compared to the debut, is certainly the most progressive component disappeared, leaving only room for the evil of black sound, supported by a clean production and a technical component medium high. If we add also that the lyrics of the CD revolves around a concept linked to the murders committed by serial killer of women in different historical periods, the release in question acquires even more charm. Another step forward in maturity, but it takes more time, sweat, hard work and patience, but I am convinced that there will be people like me, just do not appreciate this kind of musical style. Thumbs up! (Francesco Scarci)
