“Ascension” somehow fulfills what “Obsidian” might have lacked; it’s another worthy entry in the band’s growing discography and redefines the modern gothic doom metal that is on par with other veterans like My Dying Bride. Out via Nuclear Blast Records since yesterday, September 19th.
Host’s debut release ‘IX’ is a very catchy album and has multiple complex textures and dark gothic themes as you will find yourself sprawling on the ground with sedatives. Nick Holmes & Gregor Mackintosh take a dark direction toward the electro gothic synth/rock music that is fully of catchy choruses and lush electronic textures. Released February 24 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Paradise Lost’s sonic architecture is still bound by the modern fashion of melodic gothic/doom, thus they seal their 16th chapter leaving you overshadowed in eerie silence.
This actually shows a different prospect of how Strigoi was formed, this is yet another vessel where Gregor Mackintosh exposes his creativity and talent.
