THE VISION BLEAK - Carpathia


This is the last album of the German duet. Although preparing the listener for a dark and haunting trip to Carpathia, and the myths that surround them, this album is much more than that. A concept story of a man and his travel to his family estates, the dangers and the demons chasing him around this trip, and his drama at the end. The atmosphere of the concept is enriched by the music, which fits perfectly with it. Melodic, dark and haunting when needed, with crescendos and slower parts, makes the listener participate in the story. Not for the diehard Metal fan, but an album with a strong atmosphere. A step forward for the band.

8/10
