Decadence is a new Italian band that
was formed in August / September 2001 by musicians who had previous experience
in various progressive, death and black metal bands. They set out with the
somewhat ambitious goal to create a new form of metal that they themselves
called obscure metal. Ambition is a mean to reach success though and this
first release from the young band shows that there are a sufficient amount of
talent within the band. The music of Decadence is very symphonic with both
piano and orchestral keyboard elements that lay a dense slightly pompous
atmosphere for chunky guitars and harsh vocals. They still need to work a
little on becoming tighter and perhaps write more structured songs. The
production is well done but unfortunately it kind of muffles the guitar sound
which makes Decadence sound a little weak. They nevertheless have the future
before them and I would very much like to see this band grow and develop
further. They do have a very interesting sound and I think they will appeal to
fans of melodic and symphonic black metal in particular but only if you have
an open mind when it comes to music.
