Night of Suicide - Desire
It was once said by the wise, great prophet Raymond H. Miller II, that any band is capable of writing at least one good song. At the time of this knowledgeable quote, I don’t believe The Dillinger Escape Plan had yet come to exist, so I won’t hold that against him. Night of Suicide’s third record is evidence of this truth. I’m referring, of course, to leadoff cut, “My Thoughts.” Everything gels perfectly for this Dutch Doom outfit throughout this epic track. A blend of My Dying Bride worship with a touch of that funereal negativity bands like Evoken so brilliantly execute. It’s near 12 minutes in length, but you don’t even realize it as you are being sucked in by the repetitive despondent melodies. The rest of the album, by comparison, is a joke. The remaining three tracks come nowhere near “My Thoughts” territory. Boring, sloppy, and thrown together carelessly. Not the way Doom should be handled. I honestly have never heard so many guitar fuckups actually make it to the finished product. And this is their third album? Overdubs, bitches! Punch that shit in! I tried to find something positive to say about these last three cuts, but it’s almost like a completely different band wrote and performed the first song. I guess if anything Night of Suicide does show future promise, but as of right now they are only getting it right 25% of the time.
