DAYLIGHT DIES - LOST TO THE LIVING (2008)

genre : melodic doom/death/black
similar bands : Swallow the Sun, Katatonia, Noumena, In the Woods
origin : USA
strong spot : despair and melancholy successfully depicted
weak spot : ''I've heard it before''

For some reasons I cannot actually determine, melodic doom/death is very trendy the last 1-2 years. Daylight dies are definitely amongst the best bands of the scene. You know what to expect: death and black vocals, depressive melodies, lots of guitar leads and Opeth-ish riffs, lyrics that speak of despair, all packed in an almost perfect and heavy production. A nice and beautiful album.
