简介

"A gloomy atmosphere hangs over their songs and the melancholic atmosphere is quite superb. Musically their style is very straight forward of a classic mold of Doom Metal but you can hear bands that have influenced their sound which is everything from Katatonia, Type O Negative to My Dying Bride. Lyrically the band is inspired completely by H.P. Lovecraft and the lyrics are well written and performed, musically its laced with some folk music elements and the flute adds tons of melody. While a keyboard work enhances the melancholy, it is mostly kept in the background of the songs keeping everything just that little bit heavier. This can be best described as subtle Epic Doom, even though they change tempos fairly often and sometimes they overstep the boundaries of what would normally be considered doom metal,the atmosphere stays dark and eerie." (Doommantia zine) "“Escape to the Dreamlands” is the debut album of a very promising band. It is not easy to categorize their sound to a specific genre, since they mix heavy metal, doom and symphonic metal parts all together in order to create music that its main characteristic is variety and the plentiness of emotions it creates to the listener. This album created to me the same impact as the debut album of HAGGARD (“And Thou Shalt Trust... The Seer”). No doubt that it has the same dark dreamy feeling while you are listening to it. This doesn’t mean that here you will listen to a clone of HAGGARD. No! The band through its influences (amongst them are DARK TRANQUILLITY and MY DYING BRIDE) creates a recognizable sound, but above all they have created an album of a high artistic value. One other thing that I liked a lot, since I am big fan of H.P. Lovecraft is that the band bases the concept of this album to the cthulu mythology. “Escape to the Dreamlands” is a beautiful release that manages to capture both the dreamy and nightmarish atmosphere and to create something that not only you enjoy to listen to, but also haunts you. Try to listen to them…" (Behind the Veil zine)
