AGATHODAIMON - PHOENIX (2009)

genre : symphonic, melodic black/death
similar bands : Graveworm, Amorphis, Dark Tranquillity
origin : Germany
strong spot : 4 tracks
weak spot : the rest of the album

This album really baffled me...There are 4 tracks that are really really great, full of a deep beautiful melancholic mood. Amongst these four is ''Oncoming Storm'' which is one of the most sad songs I have ever heard from a melodic death metal band. The problem is that the rest of the album is mediocre, all the tracks are caricatures of bands like Dark Tranquillity or In flames. Strange...

7,5 out of 10 goatheads
