When this debut Mini-CD came out in '97, the atmospheric/symphonic black metal bands were everywhere, all inspired by Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Satyricon, etc. This band is very similar to early Dimmu Borgir. There are GREAT depressive symphonic black metal melodies with grim vocals throughout. I remember at the time thinking this style couldn't possibly get much better. It unfortunately became so over-saturated that I did not find many newer bands that impressed me much in this style past 2000.....just same ideas run through a meat grinder. Anyways, this is a GREAT little mini-CD.
After this, they released the debut CD the following year, but they got a vocalist who can SING, like Ronnie James Dio. It's an AMAZING album. Seek it out.
