Under Darkest Skies  News Review of Under Darkest Skies (Tuesday, May 24, 2005) Review was posted on download.com May 6th 2005 and was listed as a 5 out of 5 star review Reviewed by bury_me_in_smoke Good Stoner metal If you enjoy smokin a few and then losing yourself into musical soundscapes this is for you. This band has almost something for anyone into metal/doom or gothic music. Musically it seems like they would go any where, try anything, and vocaly the range is wide open as well. This is a breath of fresh air since this band is from the United States. Most good experimental music comes from Europe. Finally we have one here.

Under Darkest Skies is something different for sure...Review by herghost I have listened to these three tracks multiple times and cannot get bored of them. The atmosphere that is projected is spectacular, going from mellow Pink Floydish stoner rock and transpiring into a heavy although melodic mid-paced attack. The instrumental track "The Architecture of Winter" is unlike any instrumental I have heard. The song being based around a pure melodic mid paced guitar solo with some ambient sounds in the backround including a face full of whispers in between breaks in the solo, very atmospheric. The vocals in the other two tracks "Eulogy" and "Skyway" range from whisper, spoken word, dark yet emotional sounding singing to hellish screams, there is very good range shown here. I also love "Skyway's" almost no use of chord structures, this track is pure melodic. "Eulogy" sounds like it has a Pink Floyd meets Type O Negative meets a slower form of cradle of Filth type influence and feel. It is kind of a powerful song although all not that heavy. These songs are worth checking out just for the overall mood, atmosphere and feel which will apease those into dark music such as later day My Dying Bride. The only thing that I wish I could find from these guys is their homepage web-site so far cannot find one.

Doom/Psychedelic Hybrid...Review by searme1993 Under Darkest Skies isn't purely a doom-metal band. It seems they are a hybrid that mixes alot of psychedelics. An example of this would have to be the all around atmosphere and the tripped out almost Morrison/Waters like lyrics which are dark and filled with fantasy. All three songs and their thick atmosphere are moving using real soft touches then out of no where hit you with a strange heaviness, not fast and not entirely slow but carry a melody. There are a couple of short comings, the drums in "Wake Me For My Eulogy" (at the end pinnacle of the song) are a bit thin sounding same with the heavy guitar in that song. I still like it although. Otherwise I love all aspects os this band. Vocals (cleans and harsh), feel (overall atmosphere), etc...I am giving a rating of "5" for the fact is I have not heard anything like this before. I would recomend this to fans of Katatonia and Tool.  Click to visit site First Page | Previous Page | Next Page | Last Page
