review by Salvo "Lovedeath" Russo____ |

It’s
a highly
agreeable album this new Gothminister work !!!This band plays
Industrial Electro- Goth, and their music could be suitable for all
those who love L’AME IMMORTELLE sound!!! If you are a
defender and you don’t like electro-drumming .you may jump the
reading of this review! The
band gets a
lot of good ideas concerning the melodies and the atmosphere,
concerning the compositive approach, it gets a personal mark!!!!
Dance rhyming meets the darkness in a perfect way, and the
claustrophobic compositions are full of darkness and intensity…. The
ideal care for the arrangement and the sound gives a special value
to this album! I love the digital drumming and
the voice that sometimes remind me of MARYLIN MANSON!!!The
use of vocals is made with the proper care, and Gothminister knows
how to change the timbre and effects in order to give the right
expressiveness. Try
to listen the atmosphere of “Post Lidium” and you’ll
enter into a dreaming dark world, or the claustrophobic atmosphere
of “Hatred” that is a very strong composition in which
the rhyming meets the darkness!!!! It seems a travel into an
abyss….Such as “Shadows of evil Sin” that could be
appreciated from all Black-Goth fans!!! This song is sung with
a horror whispered voice, the music is slow and without drumming
..and it seems to be taken from a horror film! “Angel”
is an Eletro-Goth Masterpiece!!!!The melody is fantastic and the
electro-drumming is supported with strong and heavy-guitar that gets
a fantastic riff supported by perfect chorus and a horror voice!!!!Try
to listen…..It’s fantastic! I
don’t like “Pray”, and “Devil”! In these
songs the dance-rhyming is more in evidence and the melody is about
easy-listening! “March
of the Dead” remind me of “The Crow” atmosphere!!!Do you
remember this film!!!!?A heavy riff guitars meets the darkness . The
voice is perfect!!!!A whispered “Black Metal” voice in the
strophe, and a low-gothic voice in the dark refrain!...Of course the
drumming is electro-style. “Wish”
is a dreaming song in which female vocals create a special
atmosphere. “The
holy One” gets an unforgettable refrain and a dance-rhythm
that I’m sure it will make an impact on all those who like this
kind of music!!!! “Gothic
Anthem” is a mediocre composition comparing with the other
songs! If you are a dark soul….If the black, and the rhyming of the night are the sense of your life…this album is: BUY OR DIE!!! True defenders and all those who don’t like Electro-Industrial should, on the contrary, stay away from it. Rating: 8.5/10 |
