DUSTYNATION - ECHOING LULLABIES (2010)

genre : progressive/melodic death
similar bands : Opeth, In Mourning, Daylight Dies
origin : Greece
strong spot : songwriting, performance
weak spot : no obvious weak spot

This is a Greek band but surprisingly these guys don't play black metal. On the contrary, ''Echoing Lullabies'' is an album full of progressive and melancholic mid-tempo death metal compositions. They are more melancholic than Opeth and more progressive than Daylight Dies or In Mourning. The mixing and mastering took place in Abyss studios (Sweden) and what I really liked is the emphasis that was put on the bass which the listener can hear very clearly ( the performance of the bassist gives an extra flavour to the tracks). Overall, a very nice and mature album.
