	<<back Band: DEMONIC RESURRECTION Country: India Product title: A Darkness Descends Kind of product: Full-lenght CD Release year: 2005 Label: Demonstealer Records Genre: melodic black death Line-up: The Demonstealer (vocals, guitars) Mephisto (synths) Husain (bass) JP (drums) Tracks: 1. Prelude to Darkness 2. Dreams of the Dead 3. Apocalyptic Dawn 4. Behind the Mask of God 5. Carnival of Depravity 6. Spirits of the Mystic Mountains 7. Where Shadows Lie 8. A Darkness Descends 9. Invoking the Demons 10. Frozen Portrait 11. The Summoning 12. Overture to Glory Total time: 60:48 Review: I had a chance to review this band for the first time in 2001. By then they were quite a mediocre (or even less) gothic/doom/death metal band. This one is their new release, an impressive improvement, a style of their own, a more varied work, but still keeping it on the same track, that one being melodic and technical black death metal. The music is very aggressive although the use of keys and synths is giving it a majestic atmosphere. The guitars and rhythm section are very brutal, on the black death line, with some hard'n'heavy lead guitar insertions from time to time, insersions that, supported by clean male or/and female vocals are quite epic and atmospheric. The Demonstealer is a very good vocalist, and I hope he will realize his clean way of singing (melodic and still masculine and strong) is much better than his growls, I mean the band would become even better sounding with more clean vocals and some death metal growls too, but less than now. This is, after all a very, very good album and a major improvement for Demonic Resurrection, maybe the best metal band from India at the moment, and certainly the most reknowned worldwide. If you'll have the chance to buy this album don't buy it because this is an Indian band and it's rare, buy it because it is good and not boring at all. Also the production is very good, professional, with good taste. Contact: www.demonicresurrection.com
