As Divine Grace
"Romantic Beatitude"
The
original quartet from Finland with their debut mini-CD (from 1995), of
excellently recorded brutal Doom/Death. Obviously inspired by advances by
UK doomsters Anathema & Paradise Lost (the classic early albums!), As
Divine Grace presents majestic, heavy, melancholic, & melodically epic
grind of ominous power & searing dynamic. Brutal low vocals recall early
recordings by My Dying Bride & Cathedral for monumentally true & doomy
strength.
Imported from Germany (on Folter Records).

As Divine Grace
"Lumo"
An hour-l
ong full-length on
Avantgarde Music by this six person group from Finland presenting soaring &
cosmic gothic-oriented Ambient Metal-- a massive evolutionary progression
from the brutal deathish Doom of their earlier "Romantic Beatitude of Faded
Dawn" (Folter Records 001). With the addition of etherial female vocals by
Hanna Kalske, As Divine Grace's new approach concentrates on a more dynamic
& atmospheric subtlety that compares to Decoryah blended with American
label Projekt's sound (as purveyed by Love Spirals Downward & Lycia!)-- a
very enchanting & effective improvement! This definitely rivals the best
recordings by The 3rd. & the Mortal (even when
Kari was in the band)! Highly recommended for fans of dreamy, celestial,
floating music with fantastic female vocals!
Imported from Italy (on Avantgarde Music).

SOLEFALD
"The Linear Scaffold"
Typical of Avantgarde's meticulous attention
to high-calibre presentation & packaging, this is par-excellence &
amazingly superior throughout! Very unique & atypical approach of combining
the epic & grandiose symphonic pretensions of Limbonic Art, the neo-gothic oriented attack of Katatonia, the celestial aspirations of Arcturus, with the melancholy subtlety of Penitent, & all well-articulated with both grim
screechy Black Metal vocals, clear male-choir, or solemn poetry.
Dark atmospheric keyboards herald the destruction of cathedrals, while
ominous, crystalline acoustic guitar arppegios give way to blasting
monumental Nordic brutality & melodic bloodfreezing dynamic. Truly bracing
& extraordinary flight of Blackened power & harmonic domination. This will
pulverise the false pretenders; this crushes the infantile & immature
attempts at silly evil & contrived terror, for this is the aural mass of
Eden's Tree of Knowledge-- the apple of the serpent!
Imported from Italy (on Avantgarde Music).

Kvist
"For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike"
Black metal from Norway, heavy and relentless, this is the tops in speed,
melody, growling vocals, rumbling drums, thumping bass, wicked guitar
riffs, Emperor-like keyboards, and frosty Nordic atmosphere. Like a
juggernaut attacking at full steam, this is uncompromising in intensity.
Italian Import.
