This is a deppressive metal act that is endorsed by In Flames singer Anders Friden, who offered this guys to record in his studios. The music is very dark with lots of passages of keyboards and vocals that accentuate the pain that theya re transmitting (they sometimes are similar to those of Amorphis Pasi Koskinen). There are really subtle moments like the beginning of "Languish" follow by bursts of anguish and sadness reflected by this musicians. The music is halfway between doom, death and gothic...but allways emphasizing the darkest part also in the more commercial tracks. Following the path of bands like Anathema and the more commercial My Dying Bride. Favorite tracks: "Same Face", "Taint of Shame" and "Moulded Pain". Contact: www.nuclearblast.de .
