While still containing some of the hardcore/noisecore elements of past works, Vanity sees the band bringing more melody and a rock’n’roll feel to the mix.
More like prog rock with dark melodies, with songs that are essentially energetic and full band, lots of moody pop, not a lot of long, boring passages.
For the second time, Cleopatra Records have re-released a classic, silent-era horror film, replacing the original soundtrack with a Gothic industrial mix.
The coolest moments are watching Ozzy do the lonely walk to his stage (you really feel the poignancy of his job), or seeing him sign autographs in a mental fog.
Bringing back the original Swedish sound. What did you expect from members of Opeth, Katatonia, Diabolical Masquerade, and Exit 13 (the mighty Dan Swano!)?
An energetic band trying to bring new dimension to the well-traveled hardcore/metal route (with traces of Gothenburg in tow), but they fail on many levels.
Explodes band-like, Michael Romeo measuring his attacks, Russell Allen the consummate vocalist. I’ve not heard better production/tones on a science rock album.
