NIGHTFALL

Release Year: 2021
Artist Origin: GRE
Style: dramatic loud melodic heavy metal

after tasting the forbidden fruit, Greeks completely forget their gritty monumental roots, and inspired by the strides of Paradise Lost and Sentenced at the time, on their fifth full-length excursion [1999] dive headfirst into the realm of pounding yet rather dark gothic heavy metal, recording at Germany’s Impuls Studio in Hamburg - Efthimis’ vocals also significantly transformed, sounding cleaner, more dramatic, even theatrical in tone, while retaining a melancholic direction, meanwhile the instrumental segment pulses with decadent elegance and strong sense of melody, allowing the band to redefine its path without the shadows of the past, as atmosphere of cold romanticism and expressive emotional range make this opus a unique, daring event in a transitional phase with a distinct vision; recent French re-issue comes with exclusive liner notes and new commentary in the booklet as well as three additional cuts from Electronegative EP [1999]
