Darzamat - In the Flames of Black Art
This comes in two formats, singly or as part of a special edition box set with their new EP, In the Opium of Black Veil. This three-piece band hails from Poland and plays symphonic Black Metal. That’s quite a chore for a band that is essentially composed of two vocalists (one male and one female) and a guy who plays everything else. Some have called this album “Industrial Black Metal” as they use a drum machine on it. I really disagree with that categorization as the keyboard is much more the central instrument. I guess some people will call ANYTHING with a drum machine “Industrial.” This has a lot of the prerequisite Symphonic Black Metal stuff, massive keyboards, female vocals and Classical music influenced song structures. Nothing new or different, in other words. You get the same stuff from other bands as well but Darzamat is very good at what they’re doing. If you like the more bombastic moments of Emperor or the epic style of Summoning then this album is one to search out.
