Danse Macabre is the side-project of Günther
Theys and Jan Yrlund from Ancient Rites. Jan also runs the alternative club
"The Cave Of Satyr" in Amsterdam and the artwork for this album looks very
much like the ones he did for his club before. This doesn't mean that the
artwork isn't beautiful though because it certainly is. The music of Danse
Macabre is very different from that of Ancient Rites since it is a gothic
metal project. It doesn't really hold the same standard as Ancient Rites do
but this album is a lot more interesting than the new material from for
example Moonspell. The music is soft and caressing but still metallic and
melodic and the deep vocals from Günther are also very pleasing. The album
also features some beautiful piano parts from Oliver Phillips (Everon) and
strong female vocals from Antoinette Legel (Malochia). Gothic metal seems to
be a fading genre today as it comes to quality but luckily there are some
interesting exceptions like Danse Macabre. If you like orchestrated, soft
metal with deep, clean vocals you should check out this album. For Ancient
Rites fans there is one track that is more interesting than the others, just
listen to the second track and you will probably recognize the voice right
away.
