Poisonblack - "Drive"

[Wyvern]

Just a year after of the most excellent "Of Rudt And Bones", Poisonblack comes back with "Drive".
I must say that not only I was surprised and unaware of this coming, I am very pleased. The band is crafting their musical work more and more since "Lust Stained Despair" (I don't count the debut since Ville wasn't on vocals).

The keyboards are used in such a way that gave the music a prog sense that I feel elevates this band far from the stereotypical goth metal band (if you are prone to use those tags). Also the guitar work is nicely crafted with passion and performanceship in a way that my old school heart appreciates gladly.

If you're a fan of the band this is a must buy, if you're a fan of the subgenre this will go right your alley, and if you've never listended to them this is a great starting point.

I'll have to check it out... I am so behind on CD's! I actually enjoyed the debut... I love the singer from Charon but also loved Setenced so it is a good fit for me

I don't care about the debut since I'm a fan of Ville vocals, but I can assure you they have improved more and more with each album after it.

Wonder when this one will see the light as it seems they're not anymore with Century Media
