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.
