DARZAMAT - SOLFERNUS' PATH (2009)

genre : symphonic, atmospheric black/death
similar bands : Dimmu Borgir, Vesania, Cradle of Filth
origin : Poland
strong spot : nice combination between male and female vocals
weak spot : some parts sound a bit old-fashioned

Darzamat are one of my favorite Polish bands and I was glad when I found out that they have a new record deal with Massacre Recs , although most of the bands of this label are really CRAP. In their new endeavour the production and the sound of the band are reminiscent of old death metal bands but of course the overall sound is enriched by female vocals and symphonic synths that add a dark/gothic atmosphere to the whole album. If you liked ''Transkarpatia'', you'll like this one too.
