Desire – “Infinity… a Timeless Journey Through an Emotional Dream”
One day, I decided to go to this underground metal shop 4 hours away from where I live, and boy, was it ever a mistake. Let me just say that I had just received a new credit card with a limit of $1.000! Any way, when I was looking through the CD, I gazed upon a CD and couldn’t read the name of the band. When I saw the cover, a woman holding a crow by the ocean, and when I finally saw the bands name, I said to myself, “Hmmm…I bet this is going to be a depressing band.” So I bought it. To my surprise, it was very doomy. The songs are really long, imagine that, and pretty atmospheric. The songs are put like chapters in a book. Chapter 1, prologue – chapter 7, epilogue. 3 of the songs are over 10 min. long which at times drug out, but not because they became boring, I’m just a bit impatient with this style of music sometimes. For example, it took me probably 20 listens before “Forest Of Equilibrium” became well know to me. I am yet to engulf the entire “sadness” of this disc. but I will comment on it from what I know. The vocals range from a deep emotional growl, to a high pitched type growl similar to a black metal vocalists style. To go along with the extreme vocal styles, are some female vocals that are popular in this style of atmospheric and depressing music. Added to the mood are some keyboard segments that are really atmospheric and are used in a great dark matter. Any way, this album is really cool and could probably be used to meditate to. If into the first CATHEDRAL and old MY DYING BRIDE and old PARADISE L., check this out.
