RAPTURE

Release Year: 2018
Artist Origin: FIN
Style: depressive harmonious emotional death metal

after third longplay [2005] Finnish five-piece has gone on indefinite hiatus, perhaps realizing their ideas start getting stuck a bit, yet they have stopped at a right moment since this nine track set of melancholic and atmospheric yet insanely catchy and convincing music is kept on a top-notch level, regardless of minimal amount of variety - cutting off with slower doomy passages they focus instead on harmonious emotional death metal, paying homage to mid-era Katatonia once again with great results, where masterfully and smoothly developed melodic lines, strong and easily memorable choruses, as well as highly cohesive and consistently maintained emotional vibe stands out the most; recent Spanish three panel digisleeve edition comes with exclusive liner notes
