Dawn of Dreams – Darklight Awakening

This is certainly music I can enjoy. This furious combination of Black and Death Metal sounds quite convincing, although not too original. I would compare them with a band like Naglfar, or old Dark Tranquillity. The vocals are more Death Metal oriented, it reminds me a bit of the vocals on the early Amon Amarth material.

By now you must have guessed that they sound quite Swedish. That certainly is the case, although some of the melodic guitar parts remind me of Cradle of Filth’s ‘Dusk… and her Embrace’ album. I know there are many albums like this one in the market, but this certainly is a cool release. I hope that they’ll develop a bit more of an own sound. I’m convinced that it must be possible.
