Alastis – “The Other Side”
This band plays extreme dark metal in the same vein of SAMAEL. When I first popped this puppy in and heard it, the only thing that kept going through my mind is that they were SAMAEL worshipers, total clones. My cousin also thought the same thing. After a few more listens, I must say I really love this disc even though they remind me a lot of SAMAEL. The vocals are very powerful and have a very raw yet understandable approach. The music is very atmospheric and none of the songs are light speed. I’m tellin ya, SAMAEL vein all the way. Whether or not you agree with my opinion or not, that’s o.k., cause I know I’m right. HA! Well, all who dig atmospheric excellent music should really get this disc.
