In Peccatvm is a band from the Azores which is a group of
islands located far off the coast of Portugal. Since the islands are so far
from the coastline the people living there have developed a culture of their
own different to that in Portugal and this is the cultural heritage which In
Peccatvm wish to honor through their music. The band is three men strong but
this mini album also features a string ensemble performing the nice
instrumental intro track "Seotem Aguae". It is not easy to tell you what
kind of music In Peccatvm plays but it is somewhere inbetween doom metal and
soft gothic rock. There is not a lot of heavy aggressive riffing here but the
music is more laid-back and built up on rhythm waves. The album is a very
harmonic and coherent one musically but unfortunately it is a little too bleak
and plain for my taste. The vocals are mostly spoken or half-sung and
sometimes they are on the verge of growling. If you are into soft atmospheric
doom metal you may like this but I wish for some more exciting music next
time. They have however done something new that I doubt has been heard on any
metal album before namely playing the azorean guitar. I don't know how it is
different from the classical guitar but it is still something fresh and I hope
that this band can develop further in the
future.
