Dark End

Italian metal band. Assassine is described in the DeBaser review as their second full-length and a concept album dedicated to historical female figures; the music blends keyboards and orchestration with black metal, doom passages and '80s occult metal touches. Vocalist Animae delivers varied, multilingual performances (English, Italian, Latin, French).

Megiddo's review celebrates Assassine as a richly orchestrated, narrative-driven black metal concept album. The album is praised for its evocative atmospheres, varied vocal performance by Animae, and blend of symphonic, doom and '80s occult metal elements. It is described as demanding listening that rewards patience.

For:Fans of symphonic black metal, occult/atmospheric metal, and listeners who appreciate concept albums with orchestral and progressive elements.
