Already Darkside exists 10 years and still they make death/doom metal. And again with this new album they deliver metal from this side of the spectrum. Although it has been said that Darkside incorporates more gothic/black metal features into their music. Nothing more than strange sounds from a keyboard player aren’t recognisable as being other than death metal. This same keyboard player is also the vocalist after former vocalist/bass player peter decided he had to focus all his energy on his bass (as the keyboard part wasn’t to extensive in comparison to the bass part).

Also the lead guitarist and drummer had left the band. When those were replaced, one could speak of a completely new Darkside. But no new music due to this line-up change. Still boring death metal; every time the track starts to get interesting, the riff is abandoned and is changed in a different one and so on and so on. There is better music than this, and adding a keyboard to death metal doesn’t make it a “completely new stile of music”. Every track on this cd just doesn’t cut it.
