Darkseed
Spellcraft
[Nuclear Blast]


Yikes this is lousy. Can you imagine some gothic metal(barely), with some lousy James Hetfield like vocals (black album era), and some of the most worthless female vocals I have yet heard (and that says a lot). Darkseed used to be a mildly interesting death metal band incorporating gothic like elements, every once in a while here on this album this shines through, but these parts are quite few, and they are very far between, and even if they at times make it just a inchling better, there are still these awful vocals that destroy anything that might have been, although I think that even with better vocals there might at most have been one worthwhile minute on this album, that is about 40 minutes. Albums like this given to me as a promo back when I did my old zine was one of the reasons I grew tired of it, the amount of garbage being released is astounding and this is just one in the masses of those...
