Condemnatio Cristi (Slovenia)
CD. “Dreamcrusher”
Condemnatio Cristi "Dreamcrusher" Beautiful melodic intro meets me with sound of saxophone on the Condemnatio Cristi release “Dreamcrusher” This is rather unusual; I can remember the saxophone in extreme metal in Carpathian Forest’s “Defending The Throne Of Evil” or Pagan’s “Monument Of Depression” but that are some other sorts of sounding. “Dreamcrusher” represents totally polished and trendy sounding material. Here you can find modern sweet keys and FX, simple guitar harmonies and hard rock leads, clean female voice, clean male voice and growling… Sure, here are some powerful riffs but its disappear totally in the poppy sound of release. By this atmosphere “Dreamcrusher” reminds me Theatre Of Tragedy, Tristania or The Gathering with their late toothless and useless releases. So if you wanna spend romantic time with a gothic girl (or probably YOU are gothic girl) can choose “Dreamcrusher.” In all other cases forget about it.
