The debut album from the Italian band Macbeth became one of
the best sellers of the Dragonheart catalogue and now they are back again with
their followup entitled "Vanitas". This time they have chosen a more
aggressive approach coloured in black. I don't know if this was a wise choice
of not because I feel absolutely nothing when listening to this album. The
music is uninspiring and I think Shakespeare would be ashamed if he knew what
his works were used for today. There are however a few bright moments on the
album, above all the somewhat playful keyboard melodies that occasionally
raises the musical quality. Macbeth have tried hard to create gothic metal
that captures the Shakespearean atmosphere but unfortunately they still have a
lot to improve on. The album is not entirely bad and I was even slightly
impressed by one of the songs ("Diablo y la Luna") but I would only
recomment this one to hardcore Shakespeare or gothic metal fans. Perhaps I
should have given them a higher rating based on the beauty of their female
vocalist Morena but that would not have been very
fair...
