Benighted is a French band that was
formed in 1998 by musicians from the bands Darkness Fire, Osgiliath and
Dishumanized. With influences ranging from Cannibal Corpse to Marduk they have
found their own sound which is a chaotic and violent mix of black and death
metal with both guttural death growls and tortured black metal vocals. The
vocals actually reminds me a lot of what Cradle Of Filth used to sound like.
This means that the vocals are very well done if you don't get my point. This
is the second album from this young band and they are in fact one of the most
promising French bands I've heard in quite some time. The music is exciting
and dynamic and never comes to a stand-still which is something very important
if you want to perform well in extreme music. It is very easy to sound
monotonous if you don't plan the songs with skill. Benighted is definitely a
skilled band and we will without a doubt hear and see more of them in the
future. If you are into brutal death metal and black metal and and are looking
for a quality release then your search is over. Recommended to those of you
who think Cradle Of Filth aren't brutal enough and could do without the
gothic keyboard arrangements. This is a band with a huge potential for
success. Stand-out tracks: "Arcanes Démoniaques",
"Paranoia".
