Darkseed – Give Me Light – Review

Darkseed

Give Me Light (Nuclear Blast)
by Martin Popoff

Call me a fan of these Germans, but a concerned one, much more in tune with the obvious metal of the band’s second, Spellcraft, but less enamored with the increasingly laidback, techno and Gothic influences gumming up this third semi-drooper by what was once a novel crossover unit with very catchy songs. Darkseed are good writers, and each track here seems to throw in a new sound and arrangement, but I can’t help thinking that the boys are abandoning ship, passing Sentenced on the way to Paradise Lost.
