Nine Destinies of a Downfall (Nuclear Blast)
by Scott Hefflon
Former members of Tristania, The Sins Of Thy Beloved, Trail of Tears, and three releases on Napalm should clue ya in: Quality Goth metal. Plenty of glorious orchestration, layered siren calls, and metal chug. If you’ve never heard an orchestrated stripper grind, you’re missing out. Top shelf stuff.
