This is a CD that I could almost get into. I gave it two good, solid listens all the way through. I listened to all seven tracks and I tried to like it. The mood is kind of spooky, that’s good. The music is somewhat reminiscent of older Darkwave stuff and that’s good too. Somewhere between track two and track whichever, I got bored.

Through the doom, gloom, mist and moonlight on this album, there is something kind of mundane about the whole thing. It’s not horrible, but it isn’t anything to write home about. It would make for a good cool-down soundtrack at a cub but it will likely be little more than background music while one shuffles through CDs looking for that old Die Form disc that made them weep blood.

This CD is simply listenable and serves as a reminder of music that had been. It serves as a passable effort by a band that is working to recall the dark sounds of yesteryear but it falls short of being an exciting new take on an old style. This is simply a retread of music that was done better before.
