ENFOLD DARKNESS – Bassist Commits Suicide

Enfold Darkness has issued the following statement:

“Our brother Todd, who performed on our latest album, has taken his own life. I wish that we could give you a better sounding statement – we are all still in disbelief. If you are able to chip in, let’s get him back to his family in South Carolina.”

Vocally, Justin Corser‘s Dani Filth impression is spot on. What, it wasn’t meant to be an impression? Well his sharp shrieks bring nothing to mind except Dani, so too bad. Don’t worry, even though almost every death metal band tries to get their vocals to have that shrieky pitch, which sometimes leads to many bands sounding the same, it really does suit Enfold Darkness‘ swift pace and charging guitars well. If you’re wondering why I am speaking generally about the album, it’s because much of “Our Cursed Rapture” has the same feel and chooses to go in the same direction. But since that direction is one filled with godly guitars and relentless drumming (blast beats and all), then I can’t really do anything but love this record. Those In Flames-esque interludes are like the cherry on top of this metal cake made with mercury icing.

Enfold Darkness can really throw down with the best in the melodic death metal genre and this album proves it time and time again. If you like bands that blitzkrieg with wild guitars and drums that hit at 300 beats per minute, but also enjoy the finer things in life such as an intellectual acoustic bridge, then pick this obscure, yet very technical release. Because while the vocals are a bit overdone, the strings in this CD are ever-busy and near flawless. – BringOnMixedReviews.com
