Dark Requiems... and Unsilent Massacre is the latest HE album, and
after this one I'll never buy any of their albums again. I waited this album
with impatience, because I liked their first one, The Slaughter of
Innocence, but here HE has failed. Again, and I'm not surprised, the
vocals are very high, but they are even more horrible than those on The
Slaughter... (they sound like my jammed grinder when I try to start it).
Again, the lyrics are (very) long, beautiful and satanic. However, the
melancholic atmosphere is gone. The songs are well executed, but the
compositions are not very good : all the songs are now fucking happy
and the clear vocals sounds like the whispers of a 80 yrs old man dying on
his stretcher. Worse, the song "Upon the Kingdom Throne" reminds me a song
from the American movie Rocky.
The Slaughter of Innocence was ok (the instrumental songs were really
good, but not here). But this one is a bad joke, a black metal parody à la
Walt-Disney. Don't waste your money with this shit.
