Daemonarch
Hermeticum
[Century Media]
Dark metal from members of Moonspell. Some nifty ideas, but it really
doesn't go anywhere. Its not brootal or misanthropic and certainly is not
black metal as their label claims. Like I said, they have some cool riffs
here and there and song structures are atypical, but overall it is just too
little too late from these gothsters that raises little emotion in me
whatsoever. Production is, of course, crystal clear. Vocals are spiced
with a bit of gothicism, but not much.
