DARKER HALF debut E.P. / Demo "Enough Is Enough" review on Mystic Metal.

[metal evilution]

Some cool reviews on the EP and live shows on Faster Louder.
May be a tad old but still worth viewing.
There's even a review from a show in Canberra that LYCANTHIA played with TM to about as many people as were in the bands themselves!
Was a good show though.

A very old review for DARKER HALF when they opened for MORTAL SIN @ the Gaelic Club in Sydney.

Typical eh? Those stray cat metal heads are hard to round up unless you're from overseas.

Below is the promo review from Australian Underground Fanzine Procession #4 Anno Domini – 3-track promo (08) [VM]

This is a Sydney doom metal band that I have come across a few times as they performed live around the place. To be honest, their live work did not impress me very much. They triggered their drums live and the riffs were sort of forgettable. The clicky drum trigger is here as well, but it sounds fitting rather than obtrusive.

The whole thing is a bit of a surprise to be honest. This 3-track promo offers some angry Death Metal mixed in with menacing, sad guitar licks, reminding me of old My Dying Bride as well as…Cruciform. The production is studio-grade, even incorporating little bits of keyboard ambiance. The whole thing is rather nice to behear. The guitars and bass have a very pleasing thickness to them and the hoarse groaned death metal vocals add to the mix very nicely. I keep using the word “nice” not because this is ugly, dark music is anywhere close to nice, but because I’m a freak and it’s nice to hear old death/doom like this and it puts a smile on my face. Nice little promo.

Not quite a review but an interview with LYCANTHIA drummer Andrew about the SENTENCED tribute show that he was part of a month or two ago.

Hmm Im wondering which gig these people went to, it was most likely years ago.
They seriously need to hear Atrocities and come to an Anno gig these days me thinks

 

[metal evilution]

Yes a bit odd but that review was from a 3 song promo about 2 years ago and even though you used to have a substantial Doom influence it is not blindingly obvious on that demo anyhows. Regardless of the fact yes people should take note that AD is now a far more furious and frenetic beast although still retaining a melodic edge.A lot more Death and very very little Doom.
I guess all i can really say is go and buy "Atrocities"!

Oh yeah once it's out of course which i'm hoping is damn soon!!
