"Design 19 shall be numbered among the blandest moments the Swedish scene has ever bestowed in the gothic/metal domain."

 "The album leaves with what it found: poor both in quality and quantity, showing two artists lethargic and nearly bankrupt in ideas."

The record is dominated by bland tracks, clichéd gothic metal elements, and a lack of artistic vision. While a few songs offer some interest, the overall effort seems half-hearted and ultimately forgettable. Explore the rise and fall of Sundown’s 'Design 19' and discover why this gothic metal debut failed to deliver.
