REVIEW: Desire - Locus Horrendus - The Night Cries Of A Sullen Soul Self-financed, 2002
8/10
Desire - Locus Horrendus - The Night Cries Of A Sullen Soul - cover art I've already read a lot about Desire for so many months (even years) before the band send me this CD that absolutely, I'm sure, I wouldn't be a fan of. Taking it into a big consideration that Desire is still a Metal band with lethal ideas on the lyrics that they are writing - sure. But it is this long time debate inside me if I have to like Doom Metal submissions prior to any old Thrash or even Heavy Metal submissions. In which I am so sure that I can find a big difference on their music (of course, by the way) if we just want to deal about 'music' in this kind of altercation we now have. Desire was just too good to be criticized when they are there seriously threading on their chosen field of endeavor. Rather, I still impart my side that myself never liked Doom Metal and consider this CD to be a dose of boredom. As if it was, on me, interpreted like a melodramatic story that goes with the band's music. Tragedy comes to mind, while music heavily reminds me of the North American Avernus "Sadness" demo tape released last ‘94(?) - not a good example if you ask me. Although, I can say that the theme of the band was so profound that anyone should make focus on. Many textures of their songs were too visionary and harmonizing that will be leaving us an impression of "haunting" and empty emotions. For sure, anyone can notice that Desire was a decent Metal band - and this CD was amazing. True. What I am trying to imply was that, if you're not an avid fan of this sort - then the chance for you to like this material was even too infinitesimal than I do. On the other hand, there are fast parts, but at most, it is still Doom Metal that once played at a funeral would gather many tears that would drown someone empty of emotions below. As a bottom line, this is a one masterpiece that will literally define the meaning of "Doom". I highly respect and suggest this material to all fans of the said genre.
