Darkstone is a band from the same area in
Sweden as Arch Enemy namely Halmstad on the west coast. Geographically they
may be similar but they are very different when it comes to the music which is
really the only thing that's important here. Darkstone has a rather
unorthodox style and they have labelled themselves as being "the ultimate
power blood metal band". In plain English this obviously means mid-paced
atmospheric black / death metal with a strong epic feeling and some light
industrial tendencies. There are also some medieval sounds but they are very
subtle and not that protruding. Darkstone has obviously put both time, hard
work and money into this recording and it is a very professional release from
a band without label support. The songs are still a little too simple to
really make an impression but this is a band that have found themselves a very
distinct and unusual sound that it would be very wise to build upon. A nice
and interesting recording from a band that you might want to check out if you
want something different but it lacks a little bit of power and color. This is
the Manowar of extreme metal as you may have guessed when looking at the
cover...
