genre : atmospheric/symphonic death
similar bands : Orphanage, Dominia, Hollenthon, Eternal Tears of Sorrow,
origin : Italy
strong spot : songwriting, melodies
weak spot : production is heavy but slightly plastic
Dark Lunacy have once again created a very atmospheric album with very clever and beautiful melodies. Most of the songs are mid-tempo, with heavy guitars and minimalist drums (they mostly play simple rhythmic patterns). What I really like from this band is that their music is catchy and sophisticated at the same time. The use of rhythmic riffs, the vocals, the production and lots of other elements are reminiscent of Orphanage (check my recommendation about them). If we had to compare this album to their best album, ''The Diarist'', I'd say that the songwriting level is almost the same, the main difference is that here the sound is more heavy and straightforward with less symphonic elements.
