The Blood Divine released two albums in the mid 90's on the
well-known Peaceville label before calling it quits. The band has not reformed
and this is not a real new studio album but a collection of tracks from the
two albums, unreleased songs and a couple of live ones. This band is made up
of three former Cradle Of Filth members as well as Darren J. White
(ex-Anathema) on vocals. The fifth members is a guy called Steve Maloney that
I don't know much about. In other words we have a bunch of talented and
experienced musicians working together here. The only problem is that they
would have been better off sticking with their former bands because this is
not exactly the best music I've heard from the British isles. It isn't bad
but it feels very chaotic and unstructured. The keyboards sound cheap, the
music is very seldom exciting and the vocals are often horrible. Still, there
are moments when you feel like there is something happening and you hope that
the album will come alive for real. Those moments are unfortunately nothing
but moments and even though this album is far from lousy it works best as
background music and wood actually work very well as such if it hadn't been
for the disturbing (in a bad way)
vocals.
