Where Sisters Of Mercy never dared to go Vienna's own gothic
rock band Floodland continue the tradition of picturing despair through music.
This is their second album and it was actually released in 2001 on NSM but now
it is being re-released by Wait And Bleed Records with distribution through
Napalm Records. Dark, deep vocals and melancholic guitar melodies are the
trademarks of this band and even though this album probably ends up in the
rock category there are obvious traces of metal in their music. There are deep
emotions at play in every song of the album and unlike many other gothic rock
bands Floodland varies their music quite a lot which keeps up the listener's
interest for most of the fifteen tracks. Even though there are mostly deep
male vocals on the album there are also some female vocals to be heard on "I
Standing Fall". If you enjoy Sisters Of Mercy or passionate and atmospheric
gothic music in general Floodland could be a band for you. However, I find
this album to grow boring on you rather quickly since there are only a few
real good tracks. The good thing is that the vocals are quite good all the way
through while the music is in definite lack of exciting and mind-altering
moments.
