DAWN OF SOLACE - The Darkness


With a cover and a title like this, there's no chance the music of the album to be Melodic Metal, right? The album here is dark, as dark as it could be, with a melancholic atmosphere, aggressive, but also melodic and catchy in it's own way. Dawn Of Solace is the child of Tuomas Saukkonen from Before The Dawn, presenting a more dark and ominous style of his musical vision. The music is mid tempo, almost Doom at times, the vocals are both clean and Death, and the result is something suffocating and depressing, but also interesting, pretty much like the sick interest we show, when we pass from a accident scene. The arrangements are well worked, the blending of the two vocal styles has been done in an almost perfect way, so are the melodies. If you are a fan of this style of music, this album will please you in a very interesting way.
8/10
