 The growls almost completely disappear, the gothic aura is much less prominent, almost absent, and you are faced with pure metal, well-played, almost "raw."

 You feel like listening to this [instrumental track] all in one go!

This review highlights Lacrimas Profundere's album 'Fall, I Will Follow' as a significant shift towards a rawer metal sound, moving away from gothic and growled vocals. The reviewer praises the album's personality, track variety, and the engaging instrumental 'Sear Me The Pale Sun.' Overall, it is described as melodic, metallic, and a recommended purchase. Listen to 'Fall, I Will Follow' to experience Lacrimas Profundere’s bold metal evolution!

 Vocalists Lord Vampyr and Scarlet are extraordinary, the album is imbued with theatricality and magnificence truly remarkable.

 One standout song: The Undertaker & The Crow which alone is worth the CD.

Theatres Des Vampires' Nightbreed Of Macabria marks a complete shift to gothic metal, showcasing theatrical and original tracks. Vocalists Lord Vampyr and Scarlet deliver exceptional performances. Despite budget limits, the album impresses with variety and quality, making it a worthy purchase for fans. It stands just below their masterpiece Bloody Lunatic Asylum but holds its own in the gothic metal scene. Listen to Nightbreed Of Macabria and dive into the theatrical world of gothic metal by Theatres Des Vampires!

 A small masterpiece that masterfully mixes gothic-style lyrics with almost Renaissance, classical music.

 It is a NEW CREATURE, something difficult to find today, where the word COMMERCIAL takes over many musicians.

This review praises Sopor Aeternus' album Dead Lovers' Sarabande - Face One as a rare and original chamber-gothic music masterpiece. It highlights the album's mix of dark gothic lyrics, Renaissance and classical influences, and emotional depth. The reviewer appreciates the album's uniqueness and longevity in an overly commercial music landscape. The band's elusive nature and absence of live performances add to their mystique. Listen to this uniquely dark and beautiful gothic chamber album and experience a sound unlike any other!

 All of this, combined, forms a unique, unsurpassed masterpiece, matched only by other works of Fabrizio such as "Non al denaro...".

 Maybe, IT IS A POETRY BOOK. Perhaps just the ravings of a madman, but one we have loved dearly.

Tutti morimmo a stento by Fabrizio De André is a dark, intense, and poetic masterpiece that remains deeply impactful 36 years after its release. The album’s powerful lyrics explore themes of solitude, despair, and innocence lost. The review highlights key tracks like "Cantico dei drogati" and "Ballata degli impiccati," emphasizing the unique structure and emotional depth. It praises the album as an essential work in De André’s discography and a poetic treasure. Dive into the poetic darkness of Fabrizio De André's Tutti morimmo a stento and discover a timeless Italian masterpiece.

 To this day (along with Faith and Pornography) the best dark album ever released in the history of music.

 Robert Smith’s creativity reaches its peak here, and it was the last masterpiece by The Cure.

Disintegration by The Cure stands as one of the best dark albums ever, showcasing Robert Smith's peak creative period. Released in 1989, it combines decadent and subtle lyrics with unique sounds. The album is praised as a masterpiece alongside Faith and Pornography. Iconic tracks like 'Lullaby' shine, while lesser-known songs offer depth. Post-Disintegration works remained interesting but didn't reach this level. Listen to The Cure’s Disintegration and dive into one of the greatest dark albums ever made.

 This Epilogue is an album that captures your interest at first listen, fascinates you at the second, on the third you say 'nice,' and after a month, it’s gathering dust.

 These Finns need to find something more to make their good work more original.

The review praises To/Die/For's album Epilogue for its beautiful and poetic compositions, especially highlighting tracks like Hollow Heart and Garden of Stones. However, it criticizes the album for its overall lack of personality and excessive uniformity, which diminishes its lasting impact. The artwork is appreciated, perfectly reflecting the album's themes. Despite moments of brilliance, the album ultimately fails to stand out enough to maintain listener interest over time. Discover the haunting beauty of To/Die/For's Epilogue and decide if its melancholic charm speaks to you.

 What distinguishes music from noise and claustrophobia? Nothing, judging by this work from Raison D’Etre.

 Only the 'abandoned souls' will appreciate this 'requiem' dedicated to them.

Raison D’Etre’s 'Requiem For Abandoned Souls' is a deeply atmospheric dark ambient album by Peter Andersson, evoking chilling desolation. With five long tracks, the album takes listeners on an immersive journey through solitude and abandoned places. The review praises its emotional depth and artistic coherence, highlighting it as another brilliant release on Cold Meat Industry. Dive into the haunting world of Raison D’Etre and experience 'Requiem For Abandoned Souls' – listen now and explore its chilling depths.

 ‘Far From The Sun’ is a half misstep with an unfinished feel and flat production.

 Pasi Koskinen's vocals are too monotone, detracting from the album’s potential.

Amorphis' album Far From The Sun is seen as an unfinished and poorly produced work, featuring confused ideas and a monotone vocal performance. While some tracks like the title track and 'Day of Your Beliefs' show promise, the album as a whole disappoints. Recommended mainly for die-hard fans. The review encourages listeners to consider the band’s earlier album Tuonela instead. Discover why Far From The Sun divided fans – listen now and explore Amorphis' full discography!

 This puts you face to face with terror, but not the kind of terror that makes people tremble, the terror of being fragile, replaceable, useless...

 There are few albums capable of conveying emotions; this is one of them, this puts you face to face with terror.

Tonight's Decision by Katatonia marks a pivotal moment in the band's evolution with deeply emotional and atmospheric music. The album combines despair and beautiful melodies, offering an experience that transcends typical metal boundaries. It is highly recommended for anyone seeking true emotional depth in music. The 2003 digipack reissue adds bonus tracks that complement the original album. Listen to Katatonia's Tonight's Decision and experience a haunting masterpiece of emotion and atmosphere today!

 Production? Worthy of the best mainstream bands.

 These skilled guys managed to blend classical/symphonic music with metal without distorting it, without making it something already heard.

Soul Takers' demo showcases exceptional production and musicianship, blending symphonic elements with power metal. Founded by two women, the band delivers unique metal sounds without imitation. The reviewer highlights the impressive vocals and keyboards, recommending their demo despite limited availability. A lineup change is noted with optimism for a full-length release soon. Listen to Soul Takers' demo and experience their unique symphonic power metal blend!
